PC Uptime

[Nuke]

Just wondering what is the longest uptime you get on your PCs? Remember only screenshots counts. Though to hear about unconfirmed uptimes is interesting too.

Longest I ever got was 98 days, then the UPS ran out during a power failure. Hopely that won't happen again, I now have 3x the battery capasity on a 4x bigger ups.
Currently


Longest on a server was 270 days, then the UPS died

[justinufo]

my longest uptime was about 3 days,6 hours,42 min,15secs.lol

[DeathStrike]

WOW Nuke, i don't think many ppl can compare to that. lol

[bosaap]

my longest is 5 days but that coz im not home on weekends and I put my pc off in that time. will give you a screen shot when i pt my c on tonight and run it till friday again

[Kasyx]

kasyx@apollo:~$ uptime
08:27:36 up 2 days, 12:00, 2 users, load average: 0.84, 1.31, 1.30

It's my laptop.

Shut up.

[DAE_JA_VOO]

I don't have a screenie (no point in taking one) but my longest is probably around a week. Yeah. I've had it on for about a week a few times. I never switch my PC off myself, i leave it running 24/7, but there's always SOMETHING that forces me to put it off, or the power trips, or something like that.

Our iron has a habit of tripping the power

My PC at work can got for 3 weeks uptime sometimes...

My longest server at the moment is this one on 74 days:



But I have had boxes go into triple figures for uptime before. Next time that happens I'll try and remember to take a screenie

[Kasyx]

nathan@firewall:~$ uptime
09:57:04 up 56 days, 18:13, 3 users, load average: 0.97, 1.61, 1.59

Firewall box at work

Current server uptime., there is 2 servers with the same uptime atm.
root@dns-proxy:~# uptime
12:12:05 up 103 days, 22:24, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.02, 0.00


Best I got on an MS server was 184 days.

I think at rAge was the longest. But how can you keep you're pc on for so long without having to restart for an application installation?

[Nuke]

Can't remember what is the last thing I installed that needed a restart. Even DirectX didn't need one last time I installed it at the beginning of november.

Its still as fast as just after a restart. XP x64 is IMO MS most stable OS yet.

I use Linux!

[Nuke]

Small update.

root@dns-proxy:~# uptime
14:05:58 up 172 days, 18 min, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.07, 0.03

Still running from time I made last post.

After an upgrade will post a pic again in 2089

Got a Novell server with some decent uptime. Will have to go check. Can't make a screen dump from a Netware box though. Will have to make a plan. In the meantime a measly 78 Hour Windows box should do.



Quickly did a search for other Netware server uptime stats. Got to a competition on Novell's site. Check this

Spoiler (show)

I always said once installed you never need to switch a Netware server off but this is ridiculous.

[Vampyre_2099]

thats like, 6 1/4 years....

wow...

Best I've had is about 5 days on my desktop and about 17 days on my laptop... thanks to Ubuntu's hibernate (windows sometimes refuses to hibernate, so I have to shutdown)

[RuadRauFlessa]

Nothing compares to the uptime of a Netware Server. By the way that server is probably dead old by now. Unless it is running a firewall or DNS there is not much point in keeping a server running for that long a period as you will have to do upgrades at some point.

My personal best with server uptime was about 3 years give or take a couple of months. And that was a beta of Netware 6.5 with web server without a firewall between it and the www. To say the least I was impressed.

[hamin_aus]

Can't make a screen dump from a Netware box though.

Novell = Fail

[RuadRauFlessa]

Novell = Fail

OK so go make a screen dump of any console based OS. Boot into windows with a command prompt only and do a screen dump directly from the console. Or you can even try it from linux if you like. Boot up in init 3 and try to do a screen dump. Exactly the same thing. When it comes to system stability nothing beats Netware.

[hamin_aus]

When it comes to system stability nothing beats Netware.

Sure.
But when it comes to functionality, ease-of-use and almost any other category, everything beats Netware these days.

I honestly don't know why Novell guys wont just concede that this product has outlived it's usefulness.
It was brilliant in the 90's but it's just a footnote in history now.

[RuadRauFlessa]

And that is why Novell has invested in SuSE. They aim to transfer the stability and security which Netware provides through to the linux community. Oh and name a service which you can run on linux or windows which you do not have an equivalent for on Netware/SuSE. Also if you can read what happens on a screen you will manage on a Netware server. The thing is really not that hard to work on. Development for the platform is however another matter.

I see this turning into a fanboi situation like the win vs linux thing. We all have our preferences.

Old Novell got SuSE in 2003 already...
How long are they going to take to make these magical changes...

Oh and name a service which you can run on linux or windows which you do not have an equivalent for on Netware/SuSE.

Meh. Like I'd even remember anything about Netware after all these years

[RuadRauFlessa]

Meh. Like I'd even remember anything about Netware after all these years

And that is why you don't know how easy it is to work with Netware these days or about the diffirences between SuSE 9 and 11 which came out end of last year.

[hamin_aus]

My ignorance of an OS that I never ever use does not explain how your much-vaunted Netware has lost almost all it's market share in the last few years...

Face it - Novel has thrown almost 300 million dollars at Netware over the last 5 years and it still hasn't risen from the ashes... It's finished. Over. A legacy system.

[RuadRauFlessa]

Believe what you will. If you can't prove that their market share has gone down then I won't even bother trying to convince you.
