Only within the last 3 months did I decommision a system with the following config. Kernel 1.3.41 Pentium 90 32Mb memory 1.2 Gb SCSI Disk It ran since early 1996 (Feb) acting as a mail gateway (Smail 3) and http proxy (Apache proxy) servicing approximately 200 users In the 4+ years it was only powered down once (for a 16Mb to 32Mb memory upgrade. Throughout these 4 years the kernel 'took a lickin, but still kept a clickin' and software was incrementally upgrade without the need to stop the system from running. There was NO hardware failures at all, pretty good since is was a Cheap Taiwanese Clone. Apache Proxy --> Squid Smail --> Sendmail Change ISP's - try that with NT. Unfortunately I didn't have the stats for its actual uptime, but I bet it would have been listed on the 'uptimes' top 10. (More that 750days) SK __________________________________________________________________ Get your free Australian email account at http://www.start.com.au -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text
