    Using an Intel board with dual 2.4Ghz Xeons, 4GB, and some Adaptec RAID
    controller. Been running solid for nearly a year.

    $ uptime
     8:04AM up 151 days, 1:49, 2 users, load averages: 0.17, 0.22, 0.19

    I think there was some critical udpate needed about 5 months ago (ssh?)
    that caused me to update from cvsup. It could have been when I
    replaced my UPS, but that wouldn't make sense, as I have dual PSUs on
    here as well.
