I agree -- it is hard to upgrade a system when it works great and you have a great uptime. My 2.0.36-, slink-based apache/exim/bind server made it to 497 days. Some jiffy problem caused a panic. I heard about this problem, but I wanted to see what happened. I was happy at 365 days; I was going to be really happy at 500 days. Jeremy C.
