Depends on the environment, agora.rdrop.com has had quite a long history
of having been hit by any of the many bugs that have been in FreeBSD over
the years effecting it's up time. I have had uptimes in excess of 163 days
on gndrsh.aac.dev.com, but it is a pretty simple system, just does email,
very light ftp servers, etc... and that uptime was cut short by the fact
that it was time to upgrade the hardware, it has not paniced in over 2 years.

For general puspose machines those have an awfully _low_ user count!
