I can only support that! - I have an old 486 with 133 MHz at home, working as a gateway for me at home. I had it running for the first time with a Linux kernel version 2.0.30 for about 96 days, when it crashed. - The reason was - oh, no! - Not Linux! It was a broken CPU-fan! - I used this occasion, put in a more silent fan for the power supply, as well as another harddisk and upgraded to 2.0.36. - Since then, I never rebooted the system again. It currently has an uptime of about 165 days and I expect it to run far longer. My only fear is a powerfailure or that that bloody CPU-fan will break again.
Can you tell me, what use rebooting is?
At work (where I use Sun workstations) I have three machines (USER-Workstations! Where there are sitting users at the thing, logging in and out and crashing their applications all day long ;) ) - and these three machines have an uptime of far more than 280 days!!!!! (one is over 290 !)
Can anybody please show me *any* NT-User-WS with such uptime?
Regards,
Herbert
