My server (ice.cream.org) runs Debian* rather than Mandrake and has 
managed stretches of 300-400 days uptime, typically ended by someone 
tripping over a cable. It can have up to 70 concurrent users, and runs 
every service known to mortal Man ...

It was a Pentium 166 for a long time; it's now a dual Pentium III 1GHz 
with 2GB of memory (we bought stocks when memory was being given away 
in cornflakes packets), 180GB of RAID storage (hard disks now being 
given away ditto) etc. etc.
