My old faithful 486 DX-4/120 with 64meg of crappy old memory and a slow HDD, which runs our firewall has an uptime of:

cool, don't get caught out by the 497.1 day uptime bug as I did a few weeks ago.. I thought I had been hacked, turns out the uptime couter wraps ;)..
I remember that one, and saved the mail for future reference! In fact, it'll have to come down soon, to be replaced with a P200 running 2.4.x and iptables. Shame, cos it'd be nice to see it hit a year. In fact, the last power down was the result of a server-room refit, and I've forgotten how long it was up before that. It has never fallen over, and for sure has run for more than a year with no problem of its own making. Let's just say it's been reliable! Here's the ifconfig on the internet-facing NIC (3C-509):
laurie@firewall:/home/laurie > ifconfig -i eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:C0:F0:4D:2F:E4 inet addr:213.155.158.242 Bcast:213.155.158.243 Mask:255.255.255.252 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:28597916 errors:2 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:2 TX packets:28085146 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:35357 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:10 Base address:0x6000
It's fairly active for an old girl!
