You could be owned for any amount of that time, but never know it. I wouldn't tout an uptime, in itself, as an indication of okayness. If anything, an uptime of that length on Linux indicates that you haven't updated a kernel in a long time, which *may* not be a good thing. You said you didn't think much or anything had got through (i.e. you don't know, for sure), which was my point (that just one breakthrough is a problem). -- (This PC runs FC4, my others FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
