They claim, it's 8 years and two month now. Sound is german only, but anyway. Unfortunately, all proofs, they're not faking are blured... Reminded me, that I had my personal _diskless_ WS running for about a few month without reboots in that time frame (although also often using evil technology like VMWare for a XP VM, etc..). These solid as a rock 2.4 kernels aren't beaten since then. Can-we-have-a-little-more-stability-back-ly-y'rs, Pete
