Another dicksi^H^H^H^H^H^Huptime thread? I don't have a box with
600 day uptime, will you settle for half of that?
% uname -r; date; uptime
2.2-960612-SNAP
Tue Apr 28 08:59:28 CDT 1998
9:06AM up 304 days, 5:07, 1 user, load averages: 0.08, 0.08, 0.03
This is a little 386/20, w/4MB of memory, acting as a NTP server,
socks5 proxy, and network monitor. It isn't idle; all socksified
traffic (like CVSup) goes through this box. The machine itself is
an old Packard Bell which reached the end of it's useful life (according
to corporate), and which I reclaimed from the scrap heap.
