.. and the concept of this happening on Wintel hardware running anything is sheer ludicrousy. Whoever mentioned that SMP can help you get high uptime boxes is smoking heavy crack in most cases.
I had an SMP Lintel box that had a failed PentiumPro. No one even noticed until the next maintenance cycle. Besides, we are only talking three nines here. Not high, by most standards and you really don't need SMP to do it either. I once had 435 days continuous uptime on a lintel host. Only took it down to upgrade the kernel. Then I added a bunch of services and had to upgrade the MoBo. BTW, if'n y'all turn Wintel into Lintel, you wind up with a pretty good server, for cheap dollars.
