Of course, it looks like 45 days because of the 497 day wraparound bug in the Linux kernel. What makes it worse is that it's StrongArm based which means it's very low power. You could almost run it on a nine-volt battery. I once lost power for four hours and never had to shut the system down. I keep thinking that the only thing that's going to kill the thing is if (when?) one of my cats knocks it over. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.
