Hmmm, this is interesting. Do you Linux gurus care to explain?

Look at the top 50 list of sites with the longest uptime.

http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/today/top.last.html

I noticed that most of the sites are using BSD.
But look at #35. It is running Windows 2000. There is not 1 single site running Linux(any distro) that have managed to make the top 50. If Windows 2000 is so shitty then how did it manage to accomplish what Linux couldn't/can't in a world where Unix/BSD is the king of the hill?

(EDIT)It has been up for 975 days without a reboot. That is pretty damn good. http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=209.189.115.26

yawn = you can't discredit the obvious truth.

The truth is, if you know what in the hell you are doing with NT it is not bad at all. It isn't unsable, it is very usable and of course there is almost always a Win32 port of any software that you can get(in alot of cases Win32 is the only platform that the software is made for).

Void Main..didn't you say that you measure your uptime in years and your record uptime was something like 465 or 565 days? It looks like that Win2K box has your Linux beaten by a longshot.

BTW, did you have a look at the site in question running win 2000? What a boring site! Larial stats, what is that?

Yuck!

Mast Linux powered sites (like voidmains) cloak there uptime and os so they cant h4x0red.

Windows in an unlogical peice of shit, care to explain?

Netcraft can be fooled:

My uptime

I can make Netcraft think I'm running Win2k and give it any amount of uptime I want even though I'm running Red Hat 8.0. As you can see it thinks I am Solaris 8 on that page. Of course you can't do that if you are running Windows.

I wouldn't doubt it's Microsoft running a Linux server in the back room.

Make it say your running Linux 1.0 or somthing and cloak the uptime up like 2000 days or however long it has been released

One learns new things every day. Love your article on uptime. Now I care about uptime even less!

[voidmain]

Oh I care about uptime, but not on a site dedicated to it like Netcraft. Where I care about it is in my server rooms. And I can tell you which OSs in my server rooms have the highest reliability and uptime rates. I can also tell you which ones have the lowest. *All* of the lowest ones start with M and end in Windows.

O yes, but why are people so interested in breaking into M
