Probably has been asked before, but I'm just curiouse about some of the best uptimes you have seen, what kind of box it was, what OS, details about the OS, and what the box was doing.
I have seen the maximum possible uptime you can get on a 32 bit linux machine, 497 days. It was a P2 machine with 128MB internal memory, serving as a file server, dhcp server, web server, cvs server and small scale database server (sybase). It ran SuSE, 7.2 if memory serves. After the counter reset at 497 days we upgraded it to a newer suse after which it kept on running, what it's doing today I have no idea My home machines generally have max uptimes of around 3 to 4 months, since I generally update to the latest and greatest, and if there isn't a kernel update in that time, there will be a new suse version :)
