I'll testify to that one.  I had -*sniffle*- a FreeBSD 2.2.6-BETA
(yes, BETA, an early one) box of my own design running for somewhere
around 850 to 900 days, or close to two and a half years, before an
extended power outage a week ago drained the life out of the UPS and
took the box down.  It came back up with no problems and is still
running right now, though I plan on upgrading it to 4.1-RELEASE once
it is available and arrives on my doorstep in CD form, ready to go a
few more years without rebooting.  I might need a bigger UPS to go
that long, though.  :-)
