and if you happen to check netcraft's top 50 uptimes, you'll see tribute to the stability of this particular operating system. It saddens me not to see any Linux in there.

Sigh, you're only the 50th person to bring that survey.

From the FAQ (http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/accuracy.html):
Additionally HP-UX, Linux, Solaris and recent releases of FreeBSD cycle back to zero after 497 days, exactly as if the machine had been rebooted at that precise point. Thus it is not possible to see a HP-UX, Linux or Solaris system with an uptime measurement above 497 days.

That said, I just noticed a Linux system in 3. place. Not sure if that's an accurate report though. This is something which can easily be faked.
