I've had a linux box up >1 year here at work.  We just rebooted it 
recently to add a new cpu and more ram.  And this is a compaq for 
God's sake.  Its doable.  You just have to be careful what you run 
and how you configure the kernel/programs.  I'd still rather run BSD 
but linux is a decent system on x86 based machines.  I won't run it 
on non x86 machines...  The HW support/speed isn't near what 
bsd/<native OS> can do on those platforms.  I've had NT4 machines up 
for 6 months at a time at my last job no problem, uptime is all about 
having the system configured right for the job, not the relative 
quality of the os.
