For 24x7 availability, don't forget to look into UPSes, journaling
filesystems and good backups procedures and technology.

One of our database servers is a dual PIII-850 with a Mylex RAID controller
("DAC1164P PCI RAID Controller" according to dmesg) running PostgreSQL 7.0.3
under Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 with kernel 2.2.19pre17 without any problems
whatsoever (300+ days uptime under the previous kernel before it was
moved to a different location).
