Wait, I think we are talking about two different things ... I'm not looking at 'how long its been up', I'm looking at % of time its been up ... rebooting a server once a month to upgrade it, even if its down for 5min, is about 99.989% uptime, which is a good number, but the OS is still up to date ...

The 'metric' one should be looking at is how *much* the server is up, not how *long* ...
Ok, I see what you're getting at.
"Uptime since first start-up ever", right?

IMHO this should be changed from
uptime in days|hours|minutes|seconds to
availability in percent.

http://www.mreriksson.net/uptimes/viewhost/?1465 :

Availability:       99.853%
Best Uptime:            52d 15h 1min
Total Uptime:           74d 10h 39min
Average Uptime:         37d 5h 19min
Total Downtime:         2h 37min

Availability:           99.853%

So we're back at availability :-)
