I agree entirely with you. One of my customers' Debian 1.3.1 server has
been up and under heavy use for about 81 days (80 days, 20 hours and
16 minutes, for the record ;-) before a stupid "tech support" person
obliged me to reboot it to "fix" a problem with a DOS-based accounting
package accessed through Samba... Needless to say, the problem was not
with the server.
It is true that hardware failures tend to become the single most important
limiting factor when you try to set a new uptime record... <g>
