    Too bad on the uptime, Tim. I had a webserver up for 251 days last
    summer. A siezed up cooling fan took out the power supply at 2 AM on
    a Saturday morning. I had it fixed and back online in about an hour.

    We had a name server back in 2000 that had 500 some odd days of
    uptime. We had to move the office facility. We tried to keep it up
    with the UPS, but the batteries did not have the stamina for it.

    Security related kernel patches come out so often nowdays that any
    server on the internet with a very long uptime is a *TARGET*!
