How long has your computer been running?

How long has your computer been running right now?
What is the maximum time that you have gotten?

My computers uptime right now is 17 days, 9 hours.
My record was 124.5 days once before I had a power outage.

I topped 800 days once on a workstation that I used daily (although it did very little locally; it was basically a glorified terminal which rarely ran anything except ssh and a web browser). It probably could have gone far longer but it was an old slow box so I decided to shut it down and decommission it.

One of my machines has been up >620 days right now, but it's due for some upgrades and preventative maintenance so it'll probably have a day of downtime later this summer.

if i leave my computer on for more than two hours the intenet stops working. heh.


rumor has it that the idaho state university theatre department has a mac that has been running since they opened the new performing arts center building about three and a half years ago.

3 days because of putting an errata kernel on here. I've maxed out at 205 days on a home machine.

No fair! I reboot every time a new kernel patch comes out and I've recompiled.... whether that be a mainstream Linux kernel patch, an Andrew Morton -mm megapatch, an update for an out-of-tree patch I happen to like, or a patch for something really cool and geeky that I have absolutely b-all use for but really want anyway.

This gives me an average uptime of about 4 days for most systems.

For a backup server I was strictly prohibited from updating, no matter how much I wanted to, the uptime counter hit 600 days. After that, I left that job but the server might well still be running just fine.

20 minutes, give or take.

about a week so far, most i have went was about 2 weeks almost 3 but didnt make it because when my dad gets mad at me he pulls plugs therefore shutting off the computer instantly (not the best ay to turn off a computer, can ruin startup and shutdown files and the harddrive)

Mine doesn't run. It has no legs.

67 Days, 21 Hours

I've lost count, to be honest. =\

I have to say and how much power was used to keep it running ? I turn my computer off each night to save power, that and it makes too much sound. It is good if you have alot of stuff to run like seti at home but other than that why keep it on ?

2:02AM up 69 days, 5:11, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

last week me and dumbgenius did an internet connectivity test and guess who won??? i did at 8 days 5 hours (i think) straight with no disconnections. he has satillite and i have verizon fios high speed.

I've had long uptime in the past running Linux. But frankly its dangerous to not reboot windows often.

My connection uptime for cable is generally equal to my gateway machine uptime. ADSL on the other hand... well, we need a central splitter. Badly.

this one is on day 20 (laptop)

my desktop gets rebooted about once a day bc I leave linux to play games in XP.
