Congratulations. Though, I must say, I am a bit jealous; my best uptime
was ~37 days, but I had to rebuild the OS at that point so it didn't go
any further. It was pretty cool to see the blank login auditing after
spending more than a month logged in as a single user. (Others have access,
but rarely use it...)

The desktop system is even more rewarding, in the aspect that you can show
people what you're talking about. (And, it's kind of fun to show it off to
people who payed all sorts of money for their OS and app.s.)

Have fun, happy hacking, and all that,
Clayton
