Or this (granted it's not FC, it's RHL 7):

[root at firewall /root]# uptime
 11:48pm  up 84 days, 21:49,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

Not too impressed with 84 days?  Well consider this - this machine rolled 
over at the 497 day mark.  This machine has actually been up 581 days 
without a reboot!  All I've done on this machine is upgrade OpenSSH and 
restart the sshd service.  So the TCO for this machine for the last, oh, 19 
months has been about 2 hours of my time and the electricity it draws. 
Period.

I *love* Linux.
