Re: uptime 2 years!
Sorry to bother you...You know, you could just leave well enough alone if you don't care.

Re: uptime 2 years!
Here's what I said to the last guy who says my skin is thin, just leave well enough alone and drop it please. Seems your skin is thin as well if you can't handle a little back talk :) Well, I can always except critism. The problem is that I don't need rude responses for something I thought would be something to share for your organization, a success story of FreeBSD. Only for people to call me lazy and say Big Deal. If it's not a big deal, than say nothing. Maybe you should put someone in charge of answering emails who aren't cocky and smug, some responses were nice and at least supportive. I still believe in FreeBSD and it's a great OS. It's the nix I started and learned with but I think your community is full of conceited, pompous asses, the reason I don't like to associate with IT people. I'd rather not give money to someone who has to insult me. If you go to a restaurant and you get a rude waiter, what do you do? I don't go back or give them a crap tip. I get better tack out of forums where I'm asking for help on coding challenges than just simply offering a testimonial.

FreeBSD-Questions is not the right place to say, 2 years!, FreeBSD-Chat is the right place, and that's exactly what I did several days before this one appeared on Questions.

Re: uptime 2 years!
Thank you. Although I have always felt there are better systems for Administrative purposes, FreeBSD is a rock solid performer. I'm a Mac user/Fan as well and since a lot of it's core was built on FreeBSD, goes to show how great it is. Thanks to all of you who were at least constructive and supportive and found some value in my story. Best Regards, Modulok wrote: uptime 2 years! Congratulations. Long uptimes should be shared, so as to encourage people to consider FreeBSD for long-term stability. Thank you for posting. Through this discussion the lazy administrator topic came up... In regards to that, we must keep in mind, 'stability,' pertains not only to run-time stability but also to temporal stability and general quality of the design and implementation of the original code base. If an administrator has to make offline kernel patches every week to fix a glaring security hole, something was wrong with the sofware's original design or implementation. Regardless, mistakes do occur, so keep your system up for as long as you can, but don't forget to watch the security reports for things that would directly affect that specific server. All things in moderation. Sorry to bother you...You know, you could just leave well enough alone if you don't care.

uptime 2 years!
Hello, Would like to share a success story which I'm sure you've had in the past but one of my servers running FreeBSD will have an uptime of 2 years tomorrow. I plan on putting on my blog but as it doesn't have much reach but wanted to share with you since your community has made this possible. Please indicate where I could post this to have a bit more reach or if you'd like to put a link to my blog, I'd be more than happy to provide that.

Re: uptime 2 years!
No Problem, I figured that there are other systems out there with a longer uptime. I have this server as a postfix/courier-imap/ squirrelmail (60+ accounts and 30-40 forwards) mailserver with apache/ php/mysql. Also use it as a slave authoritative nameserver for over 100 zones (one zone with a 60sec TTL on a high volume production website) as well. Plus use it as a primary nameserver for our entire office (300+ workstations). I was lazy with it (Upgrading or Replacing) and when it hit a year, I decided to hold off doing anything with it as I wanted to see how long I could let it go. It's a celeron 2.4ghz server with 512m Ram and has been a champ server in it's performance and stability. I use CentOS for most of my other systems and find that as easy as it is for administration and upgrading, it lacks FreeBSD's performance. With the memory leaks that CentOS has, I usually have to end up restarting the machine(s). With FreeBSD I can just restart the services, and got my memory back and reduce the amount of swap being used. Regardless of the first email I got back (Which was a little rude), I will continue to run this server as long as I can and monitor the security risks using DenyHosts and other security measures.
