my 2.0.35 kernel machine rolled over a day or two ago..
have other machines that have rolled over long ago... approaching 600 days
etc...
some interviewers do ask ... "if you are an admin... how long can you keep
your machines up and running...
- hopefully you have a good reason.. for long uptimes or
nightly shutdown ???

machines that get shut off at night ... are probably nto backed up..
i backup all machines at night...so if its off... they lose their days
worth of data ... if they do their own backup ...multiplied by the number
of people doing their own local backup...probably to the same disks...
geez... what trouble they gonna be in when the ide disk goes bonkers

a car battery was good for about 15hrs..... a good UPS option...
for the one system i tested to run off a car battery insted of 110v
- has +24vdc input instead of 110vac
( car battery and battery chargers are very cheap in comparson
( to "consumerized ups"
