Maximum would be somwhere around 7-9 months, as I reinstall the machine when a new version of Fedora comes out (mostly +1 month after release, when I worked with it for some time on my own computer). __________________ "Yoda of Borg are we: Futile resistance is.

Although I didn't have the same experience, but that was one of the reasons I got a KVM-switch and now my server and my own workstation are on the same keyboard/monitor/mouse. And I can tell you... that's working so easy

Hides behind server rack to avoid being hit by flames Last reboot 32 days ago. My record has been 123 days, before it needed a reboot. But that is only because my nix server is still being setup and my nix desktop has a dodgy psu. But this shows some stability, albeit on bsd, those top servers have been running almost 5 years without a rebooot(one wonders how well their hardware is doing after three years) http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/today/top.avg.html

Don't be to sad about it. Just disconnect and fire up your Linux server and we'll talk about it next year

It's a Mandriva 10.0 box. Its last outage was a power failure. I'll have to restart it to upgrade to Mandriva 10.1 and do some maintenance to the watercooling system at the same time. Updated: Code: [skid@whisky skid]$ date Tue May 24 18:16:13 MDT 2005 [skid@whisky skid]$ uptime 18:16:13 up 290 days, 20:24, 0 users, load average: 1.52, 1.89, 1.96 I finally had to shut it down last week to top up the coolant. And believe me, I was racking my brain to try and think of ways to top it up without shutting it down. hehehe Skid

http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/today/top.avg.html

those results are flawed, here is the explanation;

Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and some versions of FreeBSD only record up to 497 days of uptime, after which their uptime counters are reset to zero and start again. So all web sites based on machines running Linux, Solaris, HP-UX and in some cases FreeBSD "appear" to reboot every 497 days even if they run for years.

the site does explain that in the faq's, but since they record windows aswell then the results can't be anything more than skewed as i know from experience that people will just come along and take the results at face value
