I was going to wait until it hit 130, but what the heck:
{ulc199:/disk2/home/ken:1:0} uname -a
FreeBSD ulc199.residence.gatech.edu 2.1.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE #0: Sat Mar 16 00:56:47 EST 1996 ken@ulc199.residence.gatech.edu:/disk2/src/sys/compile/pythes i386
{ulc199:/disk2/home/ken:2:0} uptime
8:45AM up 126 days, 12:24, 2 users, load averages: 0.05, 0.05, 0.04
Hardware info:
486/66
20MB RAM
Buslogic 445 with:
Micropolis 1936 (3 gig)
Fujitsu 1 gig
NE2000 clone
APC UPS (I think it's a 400-and-something)
It gets a decent amount of traffic:
Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll
ed0 1500 <Link>00.40.05.11.4b.60 43334276 662 31919680 0 16228
ed0 1500 199.77.162 ulc199 43334276 662 31919680 0 16228
There are about 100 accounts on the machine. Duties include shell
server/gateway, DNS service, HTTP, and FTP. (also a number of mailing lists)
It survived a 1-hour power outage this past Spring that took out
most of the campus, and it survived the entire duration of the Olympics
inside the Village Secure Zone at Georgia Tech.
Not bad, 'eh? :)
