I think most UNIX flavours can achieve this kind of uptime.  It's more
related to the environment than the OS.  Note that this machine only
went down because of a power cut.  And, of course, it's running 1.1.5,
because that was the latest available when it was last booted.  Most
people upgrade their systems more often than this machine has been up.

What would be interesting to see would be the number of panics.  I
think FreeBSD would do quite well there, but unfortunately it's
difficult to get concrete figures.
