Well, if you're ruling out scheduled downtime, I have a box that's never been down since it was purchased four years ago. :-)
Most of the servers I manage (which are all intended for 24/7 access) see about 3 months between reboots. That's an average. Some servers are more aggresively updated than others, and are rebooted more often.
The fun part (for me) is that this is all _scheduled_ downtime. For the potentialtech.com server (for example) has about 3 hours of unscheduled downtime since Jan 1. And that downtime is the result of a failed UPS at the colo facility. It has 0 unscheduled downtime due to software issues.
'Course it started out as a RH 7.2 box, and now it's a FreeBSD 4.9 box, but it's never had a single minute of unscheduled downtime. :-)
