smtp server, up 359 days, handling up to some 10,000 emails per minute.  
The back end (mailstore) handles considerably more emails (it gets fed 
from multiple front-end mailers) and is even more robust.  The pop/imap/
web mailer needs somewhat more maintenance and fiddling (mostly 
featuritis), so it's only been up 267 days.

Note, however, that the 359 days is "per server", rather than "per 
service"; the last time we had an actual email service outage due to 
system failure was about 3 years ago when we had a lengthy power outage 
and the generator failed (couldn't deliver power "clean" enough for the 
UPS to pass it.)

The media server/myth box in the living room runs until the hardware 
needs twiddling or we blow a breaker; uptimes of six months are trivially 
accomplished, despite its recording, playback, use as internal file, web 
and DB server and a few other tasks loaded on for good measure.

Linux?  It's about as close to "set it and forget it" as an OS can be. :)
