I have a FreeBSD 4.8 box with uptime at 880 dayes and counting.
At this point I'm afraid it might not come back up if it requires
rebooting.  I am in the process of moving everything off this
machine to a new SLES10 box, but would like to see just how long
it will keep going.

The last time it was rebooted was when I got a backup generator
to deal with our frequent power outages.
