I bet not, since it can't do anything useful (or amusing, for that
matter).

I essentially I think hibernate would keep the uptime going, no restart right?
someone try it for a few days, see if the uptime stays.  

these servers are constant.  They have been updated with the latest patches.

I want to modify the source code of uptime to allow for them to show that they have been running for over 500 days.  My goal is to run them two years..  then i might add more ram or something.   They only have 256.  Then I will probably update to 2.6 kernel if it has migrated into stable by then.

thanks alot everyone, now lets test it on the 2.6 kernel.  See if we can get a machine to roll over.
