Servers _can_ run for years unless there's a hardware failure or a
kernel update.

I never did.

Sure you do. I would be really surprised if it would be any different.

I was just posting my opinion and you're offending me again without any
reason. Forgot your pills again?

Why should I? I'm not the OP, I don't have that "problem". I just
