Damning by faint praise?  The machine I am posting this from has an
uptime of 588 days, with currently 4 users logged in.  Downtimes in
our machines are most often caused by (scheduled or unscheduled) power
outages, by system administration work, hardware failures (most
frequently power supplies); OS crashes or hangs are very rare.  This
particular machine is a Xeon with a single-socket server board from
Intel and ECC, but we also have an Athlon 64 X2 box with a Gigabyte
nf-ck804 mainboard (i.e., consumer stuff, not sure about ECC) that
also has 588 days of uptime.
