Here it is http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/accuracy.html#whichos It says the freebsd supports uptime but there is a pparagraph just below the list of the operating systems and it says Quoted from Netcraft --------------- Additionally HP-UX, Linux, Solaris and recent releases of FreeBSD cycle back to zero after 497 days, exactly as if the machine had been rebooted at that precise point. Thus it is not possible to see a HP-UX, Linux or Solaris system with an uptime measurement above 497 days.
