Hi: I actually keep my box up all the time. Only time it goes down is kernel recompile (happened today for the first time in 10 months), system crash (has happened about 3 or 4 times in the past 18 months) or the most common cause, power outage. Oh and the odd time I want to take the box somewhere. I can't seem to crack the magic 30 day mark but I'll keep on trying. Geoff. -- Geoff Shang <gshang10 at scu.edu.au> ICQ number 43634701
