I don't have any problems here with the uptime, except for a dad who
screws up the electric every now and then ;). Usually uptimes around
60 / 100 days. Only had a few minor problems with new kernel images,
which caused my network to lock up, but seems to be fixed now.
Also the network performance is much worst than with netbsd in my
experience (with debian: 2.8 MB/s as max speed, with Netbsd usually
managed a nice 8 MB/s)
