i could go on and on about this machine with the other services on it and
whatnot, but ...i think the point is clear. linux is enterprise worthy

soon we'll have to add 498 days to the uptime counter to get the real
number of days it's been up ;)
the hardware in this machine is archaic and cheap. it's made from cheap
scsi and ide. still, it toils faithfully to our bidding.

so many kernels have come and gone, our logs have been purged, it's nigh
impossible to tell which driver versions are being used.

NT anyone?
