Ärende: Server Reliability
==========================
Hi! TOM,

In a message to All you wrote:

I'd recommend that you 'mark the thread as READ', Tom.  You'll never find any
fair comparitive results.

The best I've ever done here is with my old Puppy linux PC that ran for three
weeks (yes, 3!) before the power company decided to produce a one-off
sub-station fault.  The sub-station is located about 50 yards from our back
fence and on that day it litaerally >*blew*< itself to pieces.  (Not my fault!
- I was having a quiet smoke on the back verandah.)  Huge explosion (roughly
like a 3" HE round going off): six-foot flame out of the top, and bags of
smoke.  It took two hours to rectify.

Last night we were subjected to thunderstorms the like of which I haven't seen
for about 15 years, that rattled the precincts for about 5-6 hours.  I had
nearly all our machines off & unplugged (four physical & three virtual), and
both the ADSL & analogue modems unplugged.  The only machine still 'up' was my
Fido PC just cycling through an old DOS screensaver - it's an old Pent-90
normally running Win98; I nursed it till 0130hrs after the rain, wind & light
show had ceased.

When you see threads like those just hit [Next], mate.

Cheers,
Paul.
