Sure, but I would generally *expect* high uptimes from mission-critical
systems. After all, my colo boxes go in, and don't get rebooted until the
hardware needs to be removed or replaced. So my server uptimes are mainly a
measure of how long machines using the horrible x86 architecture can run
before breaking. (And the answer is "not long enough" - have PC
manufacturers heard of QA?)

I am quite capable of finding gaydar.co.uk for myself, ta.

BTW, I clearly read the list, you didn't need to directly email me a copy as
well.
