15:58 jj at mercury:~> uptime
  3:58pm  up 164 days, 15:51,  1 user,  load average: 0.08, 0.02, 0.01

after one roll over to 0 - nigel reckoned there could be problems after
the jiffy rollover, but not noticed any yet. The rollo ver is after
497.102.. days if your jiffies are 10millisecs (100Hz). So my little SBC
has been running 661+ days.

Now I am impressed - I've survived a couple of brown outs that dipped the
lights, but nothing like that - you got an UPS on that? Anyway mine's
going down at easter. I'm changing some of the hardware. I should upgrade
the kernel after all that time !!
