	Hehehehe, that's pretty funny...a year or two without rebooting.
Where have you had that happen?  The only system that runs a year or two
without *some* kind of reboot is a system that isn't used.  Don't want to
start a war or anything as I use Linux daily.  Just don't like to see
unsubstantiated claims like that (hell, I have to deal with AS/400 bigots
all day long with their 99.9% uptime claims).

underneath.
