How about:

[root at smtp-01-001 root]# uptime
  14:01:48  up 295 days,  1:51,  2 users,  load average: 0.08, 0.15, 0.16

That's on a mail server (FC1) that handles about 4M messages a day.
It'd have a longer uptime but one of the RAM sticks blew up and I had
to take it down to replace it.

Hear, hear!  Our entire Unix-sh backend stuff is all Linux (RH7.x,
FC1/2/3).  We chucked the HP/UX and Solaris machines over two years ago.
