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. Greg
