1 year uptime!
One of my linux boxes (geddy) that serves as a mail/web and shell server for about 15+ people has been up for a full year.. yay.. (RedHat, kernel 2.2.16-22 oldie but works)
[kasia@geddy ~]$ uptime
2:57pm up 365 days, 13:31, 22 users, load average: 0.16, 0.05, 0.01
My sun box at work is up to 334 days.. catching up..
Comments
Now what's more important? Uptime or kernel upgrade?

Why fix what's not broken?

Actually, the sun box can't begin to catch up until the Linux box goes down. As it is, it's maintained the same differencial for 334 days.

I agree - no need to fix things that ain't broken:
$ uptime
1:38PM up 1093 days, 1:49, 1 user, load averages: 0.02, 0.01, 0.00
$ uname -rs
FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE
(This is our main NTP server in case someone wants to know)

<whine>Last week I was forced to take the power from a machine with an uptime around 362 days. Since there has been nothing but trouble with the machine... *grumble*</whine>

Ack!
I can't believe you posted this entry just hours after I had to reboot family.zawodny.com because of a botched network interface config change (translation: I did an "ifdown eth0" when I really shouldn't have...)
Boo. 300 days of uptime lost. And I suspect that litterbox.zawodny.com will need a reboot in the next couple months for similar reasons. Maybe.

On day 364 of uptime for my Linux system I had a series of sudden reboots. Turned out that my CPU fan had gone bad :-(
