I once set up a FreeBSD host as an internal CVS server at a former workplace. Recently, one of my former collegues sent me this:
bash-2.03$ uptime
3:55PM up 1290 days, 9:41, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
Obviously, it is running a *very* old version of the kernel (and userland), so it's probably a push-over for any wanabee script-kiddie that wanders by, but still, I'm pretty impressed.
Hooray for UPS...

That is awesome! Years ago I setup a FreeBSD box as a dynamic dial-up server for my former employer. I was surprised when I was called two years later to do some work and found that the box hadn't been rebooted in all that time and they were *still* using the box for Internet access. Luckily it didn't appear to be rooted, probably because all it did was NAT.

Indeed very awesome. The best I've got here is:
% uptime
3:25PM up 759 days, 1:46, 1 user, load averages: 0.18, 0.09, 0.02
but now your post is filling me with hope!

I just noticed. The box tagg is talking about is passing the 1600 days mark tonight.
Sweet.
Still going strong!
