Ask HN: What's the current uptime of your workstation?

1 pointnileshtrivedi2 comments

I am curious to know whether people suspend or shutdown their primary machine while taking a break. I have been rater busy past few days and here is my uptime:

nilesh@cd-oneiric-laptop:~$ uptime 20:00:02 up 7 days, 7:41, 1 user, load average: 0.01, 0.06, 0.08

which is not extraordinary by any means, but it would be interesting to know the extremes. Share your uptime.

It's a Linux machine, I don't need to shut it down often.

I did have a problem with the UI, so my Emacs only has an uptime of 5 and 1/2 hours, otherwise that would be not terribly far off the machine's uptime.

I too am a linux user. This kind of stability was a breath of fresh air when I first switched from Windows XP.

Shutdown has a benefit though - it feels like a real break from work and helps me unwind. Weird, but true. :-)
