Win2k is 5 years old.

BSD/OS is pretty old, too.

Too bad we don't know what versions and service packs these machines
are at.

If the box is behind good firewalls, and everything from glibc on
up is kept current, and the SysAdmin is smart about locking things
down, and if the load on the box isn't growing, and it uses good 
h/w, I don't see why a box running a 2.2 kernel couldn't stay up
