I just retired my colocated 486 server (33Mhz, 20M RAM, Linux 2.0.39)
which had a final uptime of 444 days, 13 hours, 13 minutes. It was probably
pumping out 2G of content each month between a dozen sites, and handling
email for half a dozen people.
It was replaced with a more modern system that will allow us to do a bit
more than the 486 could handle (the last two or three months the machine
started crawling, but by then we were running Apache, Seminole (another web
server my friend is writing for the embedded market) and Postfix (which is a
fairly heavy SMTP server, but better than Sendmail)).
I was happy to get over a year uptime on the system (it had been in use
for nearly four years).
