 Do you known if the LSI-9205-8E HBA or the LSI-9202-16E HBA work under
 FreBSD 9.0 ?

Check the man page for mpt(4):

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mptmanpath=FreeBSD+9-current
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mptmanpath=FreeBSD+8.2-RELEASE

Or LSI's site:

http://www.lsi.com/products/storagecomponents/Pages/LSISAS9205-8e.aspx
http://www.lsi.com/products/storagecomponents/Pages/LSISAS9202-16e.aspx

Do you know how to use a search engine?

 You do realize, I hope, that Linux and Solaris roll over their uptimes 
 at something like 492 days.

There was a thread on comp.unix.solaris with people reporting uptimes
greater than 492 days. Some with three years uptime (1000
days). There was a bug in Solaris pre-2.6 that prevented the
reporting of uptime greater then 248 days. I am unsure about Linux.

There's a report of a VMS machine running for about 7 years:

 What is it that makes people rave about the longest uptime? To me, this is
 just a list of sites whose admins have neglected to perform the necessary
 upgrade-maintenances, seemingly for almost three years even. To me, this is
 just a list of potentially vulnerable sites.

You can go into single user mode ('shutdown now'), and have all the
services stop. Then update them when necessary and do a '^D' to go
back into single user mode. This will not reset the uptime counter.

You would be stuck using an old kernel- and user-land however. If
there is only one open port to the outside world, and you make sure
that program is secure then it should not be a problem.

 That's not quite up IMHO.

For some people these things are important. I have no problem with
shutting down my machine every night. (Of course it's because it's in
my (small) bedroom, and I want to get some sleep. : )

RtCW is single-threaded as far as I know. The admin of one of the
server (Charter) once said that on their dual-CPU server that one
CPU is always at 100%, and the other is idling.

Remeber that RtCW was a Windows games first, and how good is Windows
with threading? (Especially the Win9x series.)
