A couple of years ago I left my box on for over seven months, so I could see if it was as stable as claims said it was... and so I could put uptimes in my sig. :) I would have gone longer, but a threatened tornado and extreme lightening encouraged me to shut down. Now, the electric bill is all the encouragement I need on this Athlon beast!

BTW, Mike,
I run the xntpd deamon.

In /etc/profile.local I have
ntpdate -b ntp2.kansas.net

In /etc/ntp.conf I have:
