My PowerMac G4 400MHz with Debian GNU/Linux 4.1 (that works as my home server and internet gateway since last summer) just got 157 days uptime (without reboots since January 28th 2009) before yesterday strange hanging that was resolved by manual rebooting…P.S. Electric power stability is provided by APC Back-UPS ES 750 that may keep the server working without electricity for more than 40 minutes!
