[Ferocious]

Using XP home edition.

I'm currently at 13 days and 2+ hours.

My XP Server (Yes thats right you heard it) has been going strong for "93" days now

Back when I was running WinNT 4.0 Workstation on my BP6, it managed over 11 weeks straight before I accidentally hit the Reset button while I had the bezel off of it. I'm sure there are some Linux fiends around here who can easily topple that, however

According to some Linux site some time back, yahoo has servers that haven't restarted since they were put up. I have a server at home running on XP Home because I had an extra copy of it and it pretty much goes without a restart except when I have to apply some updates for the OS to restart it.

With 2003 server no longer requiring any reboots after Windows Updates, this should get interesting!

Yea, now Windows 2003 server has a bit more level of a playing field to compete with Linux on true long term stability, because you don't have to sacrifice as much security for uptime. I still doubt it will be able to hit the multi-year uptime records as easily as some of the BSDs and Linux can.

<-- has gone for 2.5 weeks on his XP Pro workstation, and the server (which has run Windows or Linux at various times) has gotten over a month from both of those OSes (terminated prematurely by unplanned power outages both times ).

I had about 3.5-4 months on a Linux box running RC5 24/7 and doing a PProxy. I had to shut it down because I was having the electrice upgraded in my house. The box just sat int he corner doing it's thing.

I don't get to run my PC's too long before I have to reboot
my PC at work currently has either 43 or 44 days on it right now

Win2K pro.

My laptop win2k about 2 weeks then I reboot as the memory leaks start slowing things down. My home theatre PC goes for months without reboot but most of the time it's not doing anything. I also have a linux based web/app box (heavily used) that hasn't been on reboot for nearly a year.

Windows 2000 Advanced Server

The box was a primary RADIUS server and to restart it was a SIN.
