99 days is nothing. The only reason that any of my 2.4 boxes are still 
there and haven't been upgraded is that they are not subject to security 
issues and I cannot be bothered to upgrade them.

Oddly enough the box I am writing this on has 99 days uptime today. It 
only went down because I had to pull the power for a short time.

For my money 2.6 is better. The measure is not just stability but also 
improved performance and, where appropriate, features.
