in my home LAN I have an old 2.0.36 system with an uptime of currently
181 days -- seems to have been a particularly stable kernel version.
I've had many Netscape Navigators running wild and trying to crash it,
but I still always somehow managed to have it survive...
This is the system I can always return to when I messed up everything
else, but need to get something done. What a nice and warm feeling!

And just in case you were wondering: 181 days ago, there was a power
outage which my UPS wasn't able to smooth away ;)

BTW, does anyone know of a way to upgrade the kernel while keeping
uptimes?
... a question, the heart of which only real geeks do understand :)
