Hmmm... hadn't thought of it in those terms, but except for some recent electrical work I did in my "computer room" [installed a ceiling fan] I'd have uptimes close to that as well for a couple of my systems...  [didn't strictly need to power off the computers to install the fan as it was on a separate circuit, but it seemed the safer thing to do in the event "something" catastrophic occurred]  but in the "my, how time flies" category, I see I did that 37 days ago -- doesn't seem that long, really...

hmmm^2... I know I have one system set for "automatic updates", which would (I presume) include kernel updates, but I suspect that unless I actually REBOOT, the "kernel" won't actually swap in...
