I was browsing around Netcraft this morning checking on Hotmail among other things (yes, Hotmail is still running about 50% FreeBSD and Apache) and decided to explore the Exodus Communications netblock. Lots of interesting names show up in the high ranks of uptime but not a single NT server in the top 50 (all over 300 days). Isn't Netcraft great?

Unfortunately, from the uptime.netcraft.com FAQ: Additionally, NT4 uptimes cycle back to zero after 49.7 days, and give timestamps exactly as if the machine had been rebooted at this precise point, while HP-UX, Linux, Solaris and recent releases of FreeBSD also cycle back to zero after 497 days. NT4 SP5 sometimes gives unreliable data, appearing as a "swarm of bees" effect on a graph.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
