What's you servers uptime record? Personally, it's only like 32 days. But i'm working on improving it.
Oh, and take a look at: http://uptime.matfors.net

17 days on XP Pro, while using it everyday too, with only 256 megs of ram, a java script on some site I went to crashed it. I had used some intensive apps too, like autocad and photoshop, PSpice a lot. This computer is my tv/vcr/dvd/music/internet/post office/IM/C++/other homework/etc machine. My uptime was pretty impressive I think...Built this thing myself almost 2 years ago now.

My server is a p2 266 with 64mb of ram and is running Windows NT4 Server. :)
Regarding uptime, it's not what kind of a machine you have it's what OS you're running. When we're talking 20+ days of uptime Windows XP sucks. It has the memory leaks most workstations have.
And although WinNT4 Server is old, it's stable and has less memory leaks that most workstations.

Oh well if you are counting quick restarts, then I have had it up for a little more than 6 months.

You don't have to explain what machine your on, it doesn't matter, infact its offending when people try to brag about how many days they've had their server up on windows.
All machines can do something great if you aren't stupid and you deal with them right. I've had my "oh so horrible WinXP Pro" on for about 3 months before; using it as a personal computer at the same time too, without any problems. So stop trying to insult Windows, i'm tired of it, Yes, microsoft is bad, but windows is fine if you just keep working on it and stop being lazy and whine because you have to or it will flop.
Every single company has something wrong with every single one of their platforms, so stop complaining, no ones computer is perfect.

Hence this thread. All computers; Mac, Windows, *nix, everything will crash eventually. This is just a laid back discussion about how long ours have gone.
I'm sure this thread was not a concious effort to insult Windows; that's just how you choose to look at it.

I guess, i'm just use to everyone bashing a certain OS all the time, and its so annoying. I mean, if i had linux i wouldn't ALWAYS refer to mac as trash, or windows as win"doze".

I understand. I think it is just because Microsoft dominates so much, people like to bash it. If Linux were to dominate, then it would get its share of bashing.
People just like to take down the dominant power, and then be indecisive and take down the new one after the old one falls.

| I would have come back to visit the site sooner if i had probs. I reboot the machine that abyss runs on once a week. I turn abyss off when I run norton and all that other jazz once a week. I have abyss on a work computer. It does not eat the computers memory so its like abyss is not even on the computer. I looked at useing windows IIS system on the computer abyss runs on. I could not understand anything I was reading about IIS. Abyss is pretty much point and click. I set up mysql and php and php myadmin. It does a pretty good job. I Love it! Great work! |

Why do you have to restart once a week?

Listen, Karasu Kami.
I don't quite understand why you got so upset. I said Windows XP sucked in regard to attaining uptime and compared to server-specific operative systems. This is a fact. At least in when you're talking about Windows-systems.
That's why Microsoft releases Windows NT Server, Windows 2000 Server and all of those server operative systems.
Workstation OS are great when used on a workstation doing workstation-stuff. But it isn't suited very well as a server. Ok? Have I made myself sufficiently clear?
And how could you think that I was bashing windows anyway? I said I used a windows operative system didn't I?

I use XP Pro and it makes a great server. I can have mine on for a good 6 months+ if i wished. I don't know what your computers problem is ^^;.

Haha. I can't believe this.
So what you're saying is that Microsoft puts out these server operative systems because they don't know better? You should mail them and explain how stupid they are.

No Exterus, Microsoft does not make Server operating systems because of uptime. They include server-specific functions that can either only be obatined by getting their operating system, or are enhanced and easier to use versions of popular services.
To name a few:
DNS Servers (A lot of people don't like to use BIND)
Content Management
Deployment Tools
Intranet Server
WINS Server
DHCP Server
Active Directory, which contains: (Just listing a few of the hundred features)
Shadow Copy
Network Drives
Central File Servers
Not to mention some crazy integration with other programs out there
Those are just a small portion of the features that the Windows Server system offers. Because if they didn't put an edge on the competition, then they couldn't charge $900 per license, now could they...

I didn't say it was about uptime specifically. It's about memory and memory leaks. And windows workstations OS does not have the same prerequisites for attaining long uptimes as the server versions. That's all I ever said, and this IS a fact.
Maybe it's not that important to use server-specific OS when you're just a homeuser that servers their own websites and stuff like that. In that case I'm sure Windows XP works just dandy. But a serious webhost would never, never use anything else than Windors NT Server (this is outdated, though)/Windows 2000 Server/Windows 2003 Server or some form of linux, *BSD, Sun, etc.
And high uptimes are invaluable, maybe not for us home-users, but there are no top notch-webhosting companies with less than 99.99 % of uptime. It's evidence of how well you can maintain your servers and how reliable you are. So I don't think it's "baloney".

Nor do I. Actually, the majority of hosting companies do not use Windows; they use *nix. Usually, the only companies that use Windows are dedicated hosting companies who offer a choice of either Linux or Windows.
One more thing that Windows Server offers in the market of uptime:
Redundancy.
