sorry I was not clear.
I have had the MB since sometime in July and was running RedHat 6.0
for a long time before upgrading to 6.1 sometime in December.
At first I was rebooting the machine a lot trying different things
(and because of the lock-ups) but then I started using it as my
main machine and left it alone for a couple of months (didn't upgrade
the kernel or reboot).
I leave my machine up 24x7 with X running. I use it about 6-8 hours
a day when I get home from work.
It's also possible that I exaggerated the uptime and it was really about
88 days...
I also have a UPS which has saved me from brown-outs several times.
