Debian and its clones "The Debian project has updated the stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 4.0. This update adds security updates to the stable release, together with a few corrections to serious problems. As always, the first point release also corrects a few issues that have been noticed too late in the release process to stop the release, but still should be fixed."

My "record" was 289 days. Then I upgraded to Debian Etch (from Sarge) and had to reboot. The server was a Pentium III 450 MHz system with 256 MB of RAM and a total of 190 GB of hard drive space, divided amongst three drives.

I used to suffer from those "prolonged" power outages too, which seem to last just long enough to drain the UPS and cause the system to shut down. Now we have a 16,000 Watt whole-house generator with a 250 gallon propane tank to keep it fed, as well as three UPS's. :-)

On another note, I just replaced that server this month, with one of the Dell Linux PC's. It came with Ubuntu 7.04 desktop, but I repartitioned the 160 GB SATA drive, added a second 250 GB SATA drive and installed Ubuntu 7.04 server on it. Let's see how well it stacks up against the venerable Debian.
