Yep - I've kept with the essential security patches, and have a year-old 2.6 kernel, and have otherwise left it alone, although it's been frequently used both on desktop and as Samba / NFS / MySQL server.
The really excellent part is that this is an old PC I bought online for $100. Added a new harddisk (another $100), booted Linux, and it's been running ever since!
wow! congrats, i'm wondering how long can fans go on before they die, another one to watch are thunderstorms, i've heard people say pcs should never be turned off, go figure
Sweet news - Congrats on the milestone. Where I live, my area is subject to rolling blackouts, and I voluntarily shutdown my machines if I'm going to be out of town for a week or so, but I'm envious of a >1 year uptime.
Fans have mean times before failure of more then 10000 hours, so don't worry about that.
Congratz. I think the highest here was an uptime of 200 days, and then a heavy thunderstorm with a house out in the open made me to decide to shut everything down.
