I got 500 days uptime confirmed, which is really good, I think.Chances are that bragging about up times that long is a failing, not a feature. Kernels and other components get updated regularly enough and sometimes to get the benefit of a security fix, you really have little choice than a reboot. Percentage up time is a far better metric.
Everything (even the kernel, though lenny might not have the needed features) can be upgraded w/o rebooting. /usr/sbin/checkrestart is a *wonderful* tool.
