Hi Allen I've been mostly following the SLE-list, but also this one ofcourse :-) I'm keeping up 4 different small companies Linux-servers.. They have ADSL-lines every one of them, so SuSE is acting as firewall/printer server/HD-server/nightly-backups/VPN-tunnels/Internet-proxy with timers and e-mail filterin computer among other stuff that I use them :-) Best uptimes I had with them just before upgrading was around 250-300 days! With Linux it is very easy to achieve uptimes over 100 days before rebooting.. And usually the reboot is needed because HW (like cleaning the dust from inside, changing fans etc).. and not because OS faults... Jaska. Ps. Happy new year to all!

Hi all, I wanted to first say thanks. Everyone here seems very nice, and extremly intelligent. I'v been using SuSE for almost a year now and I used to be on this list and a few others before it. And I wanted to say thanks to everyone here because I have learned alot about securing Linux from being here.
Question:
I know uptime shouldn't be the reason patches are installed, I install all patches on my system but only like 2 have ever needed a reboot, and that was Nvidia drivers and the kernel. So I was wondering what everyone's best uptime they have ever seen was. Currently this box has ...Well, in about 30 minutes it will have 27 days, and it is used daily. 28 days was my best untill a power outage occured. But anyway, whats the best youv had? Or seen at a place of work? -- ____________________________________________________ We Are 138
