How times have changed. It used to be that *NIX supporters put the output from uptime in their e-mails, some of which were years. It was a symbol of how stable the releases were, and how stable the machines running them were.
Now people "look forward" to their next reboot and even re install.
It's an interesting social change, I guess.
Recently, I rebooted two servers that had 20 days shy of 3 years of uptime:
10:37:30 up 1075 days, 16:48, 1 user, load average: 0.33, 0.30, 0.33
While interesting in the "uptime game", it really struck me that we have finally achieved the same level of reliability/stability using Linux on PC hardware as we have had previously with Solaris on SPARC.
The real shock is these machines are running Fedora Core 2, which is ancient/obsolete by today's standards.

You couldn't find an excuse to hold out for another 3 weeks?
