Hi, My system was up for 54 days and no degradation of performance or lockups were noticed. The system is used 23.9 hours a day. What I have noticed about S.u.S.E. 5.3 however, is that my hard disk is accessed REALLY frequently -- every minute or so. This happens even if there is nobody on the system. I tried to monitor swap -- numbers do not change (vmstat, free) This never happened in RedHat for example. This is Quantum SCSI disk on Tekram UW DC-390F adapter. System has 64M of RAM. Maybe this is a manifestation of sync daemon...
