well, if you measure stability by uptime!

And according to the Linux counter, I've have the 8th highest uptime Linux
box currently being counted. :)

http://counter.li.org/reports/uptimestats.php

Uptime[days]   Kernel                   CPU
587.9              2.4.18-grsec-1.9    Intel Celeron

Somehow, his statistic gathering scripts noticed the jiffy wrap that rolled
my uptime back to 0 days ninety days ago.  Well this was a nice surprise.
Course I'd have TWO servers with that uptime if I hadn't typed 'reboot' in
the wrong window!  DOH!

BTW,   'init 1' and 'init 3' work great when a reboot of the box is
necessary but not desired! I thought the uptime was a goner today..but we
got around it! :)  happy happy - joy joy!
