2. Probably 80% of the servers with the longest UP time run FreeBSD. Give a link. Easy to find.
Just a note -- linux is often not included in the lists of longest uptime because it has a feature whereby the uptime counter resets itself after a period of time. http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/accuracy.html#hz1000
So do some recent versions of FreeBSD. It depends on what the HZ setting is. Besides, any server that is left running continually for that length of time is a neglected, unmaintained server and nothing to boast about.
If you want something to brag about, look at the availability stats for hosting companies. It's a much better indicator of overall reliability, and companies running FreeBSD are generally very well represented in the top 10 each month.
Cheers,
Matthew
