I can beat that - I've had a Linux box up for about fourteen months, until a
power failure in the datacentre (yes, this is the datacenter that boasts
VESDA, loads of kilowatts of backup generators and ultra-powerful aircon)
reset it back to zero.

Mind you, I've had a NetWare 3.11 server (ob-classic computing!) up for well
over a year, probably about 18 months.

However, this beats all of them:

This is a Catalyst 6506 switch at one of my sites which hasn't been down since
its installation back in August 2000! Its the only piece of kit that will,
touch wood, have been in service without any outages for the whole of its
three-year lifecycle.
