Seems ok to me as well. I've been running a news machine since FreeBSD
1.0 with quite a load, and uptimes of 90-170 days are normal. It's been
running 1.0, 1.1.5.1, 2.0.5 and now 2.1 with equal figures .. although
2.1 has only been installed for about a few months, no crashes so far.
All this with moderate hardware btw, a 486 with only 8Mb served >4000
groups on ethernet. I did skip most binaries thoug ;-)  It couldn't do
news.daily within less than 22 hours otherwise.
