Oh true, but don't look at it as though it's bad.  If Linux is NOT in to
top, the question is why?  What technology/module/etc is causing Linux
to NOT be in those positions?  The idea is that there is room for
improvement to reach that benchmark of uptime and the question is: what
is needed to get there?

But back to the first comment, I think it's absolutely great that NO
Microsoft products are on there.  In fact, looking at the web site, NT
CAN NOT have it's uptime determined/measured.  That's a Quality of
Service issue which needs to be championed within the Linux community.

Does this help?  Think outside the box a little and you can find
opportunities for improvement of Linux AND find ways of selling Linux to
PHB's who might not understand the technical issues.

Hope I'm clear enough.
