My Fedora Core 1 machine at work had been up for 501 days. The kernel uptime counter rolled at 497 days, but trogdor happily ran for four more glorious days. The machine started acting very strangely this morning, so I rebooted it for the first time in nearly a year-and-a-half. The first person to mention that FreeBSD doesn’t have this problem gets a 24-Karat gold boot to the head.
