I have pretty much every Caldera release in boxes going back to
CND 1.0.  We still have a few OpenLinux 9 systems running in
VMware virtual machines as it's the last version that would run
SCO COFF binaries reliably, and I have production systems that
require that.

Piker:  Here's uptime on our main file and e-mail server (behind
firewall with no direct internet access).  We have an ISP client
with several SLES systems in an internal e-mail delivery cluster
that have updates just shy of 900 days.

  9:48pm  up 1304 days 13:03,  26 users,  load average: 0.13, 0.24, 0.15

I have to replace the batteries in the UPS this machine which may
require pulling it out of the rack in which case the uptime may
go back to zero.
