Nothing will happen when you don't restart for 60 hrs. Thats 2 and 1/2 days.. nothing wrong with that. The longest I've been able to stay on without restarting is about 3 weeks... and no problems. Would have kept it on longer if not for stupid Windows Updates.

Servers stay on for years with no problems. Unless they run windows then you must do nightly/weekly reboots otherwise it will crash.

My PC stays on for about 15 hours -- 4PM to 7AM. On the weekends it's about 12 hours between shutdowns/reboots.

I reboot about every 3 days. Run 24/7 (except reboot)

I beg to differ with you on that one. With Windows XP I can maintain uptime without need of rebooting for as long as there are no Windows/graphic driver updates. Ever since I ditched Windows 9x I haven't had any problems in that field.

I stand corrected -- it was monthly and they were windows 95 servers.

But still, my school has left it's solaris machines on since they got them 2 years ago, serving the webpage. Until one day I taught a friend, in my words "the one command you should never type in linux" *rm -Rf /*... of course he typed it, and it deleted boot.ini and some other rather critical files. The system also halted and he just left it.

The computer teacher thought it had been hacked though so he got off scot free.
