Linux reliability has been questioned. Here is an example of demonstrated reliability. I re-booted it a few days ago to replace one of the tape drives which has worn out and needs to be refurbished.
This machine runs our Name-Server. We have 300+ nodes that use this for all their lookups. It also backs up three Suns and a TCP/IP VAXen node every night from 1 to about 6 AM.
# uptime 11:35am up 61 days, 14:43, 1 user, load average: 0.06, 0.03, 0.01
# uname -a Linux boneserver 2.0.16 #3 Mon Sep 2 09:25:13 EDT 1996 i486
