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

Thats right. As I said, the high uptime servers are dominated by BSD. ;P

You mean the high "fiddling" is dominated by BSD.

A couple of other things I noticed about this Windows machine. It's only been charted for the last two months so who knows what fiddling has been done on it. I suspect it only really has two months of uptime and if it has been fiddled with then it could have been rebooted countless times within that two month period and not show it in the graph. Also, regarding these BSD boxes that are at the top of the list. It's interesting the number of days the #1 system when the graph starts. You tell me that's not suspicious:

I smell a Debian devil.
At least it's been graphing for over 2 years unlike the Windows box...

I really don't think that the thing has been fiddled with d00d. Plain and simple, if the uptime meter says it has been up for xxx days it has been up for xxx days. Can't you just accept the fact that it is possible for Windows to be stable and it is possible for Windows to be up for a loooong time with no reboots? Neither Win2K nor Windows XP have ever given me a lick of stability problems(I've had my systems up for 6+ months with no problems). The only time I *ever* have to reboot is when I update drivers or when I choose to install Windows updates(which isn't very often).
Why fix it if it isn't broken?

Heh heh, how long as OSX been out? I wonder if there was any fiddling with this one:

The first release of OSX was out before Windows XP reached RC2 as far as I know. So it has been out for a while now. How is it possible to cheat your uptime anyways?

No I can't, because it isn't a fact.

Because if you don't install the updates, it is broken. Can't you accept the fact that you can not put a Windows machine (any Windows machine) on the network exposing IIS without updating it regularly? If you don't you will be 0wn3d in 2.3 seconds.

There are several ways to do it, I figured out one way if you could read the link I posted earlier in this thread. And like I said, there's no way of telling what OS is running on the machine that claims to be a Win2k machine, let alone how long it has really been up. I have proved that the Netcraft results are FAR from reliable.
And are you blind when it comes to looking at the graph in that OSX link? And look at the OS history. This guy is "obvoiusly" spoofing is OS and uptime.
Would you be happier if I made my Linux machine show up as OSX rather than Solaris 8 like it does now?
Or better yet, how about if I make it show up as Windows XP with 10,000 days of uptime? How much would that prove?
