[SLUG] Whose got the biggest

[Steven Kerr <linux.com@nospam.start.com.au>]

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)
