[off-topic] Reboot will fix everything

[Blake Munro]

Hi Kai,

Long time no talk. Yeah in my opinion it is pretty standard, however I
typically achieve more than 1 month before something goes wrong. We have
some 2008 R2 servers that have been up for 3 months, only reason being is
because that was the last time I did a patchathon. One is coming up in the
next few weeks.

On the other hand, I have an IBM T43 laptop at my house running Debian.
Check out the uptime:

 17:04:20 up 404 days,  2:43,  3 users,  load average: 0.08, 0.02, 0.01

It's a 6-7 year old laptop...

Cheers
Blake
