Why linux rocks

August 2, 2007 | mark | Startups

I’m busy decommissioning an old server I’ve had for almost a year. I’ve used it for dev and testing and installed a bunch of crap on it.  It has never required a reboot and has been busily chugging away. Here’s it’s uptime:

11:20:46 up 333 days,  8:13,  1 user,  load average: 1.02, 1.34, 1.21

The only reason it needed a reboot 333 days ago is because the datacenter it was hosted in was being migrated. It was up for about a year before that, again without reboot.

My name is Mark Maunder. I've been blogging since around 2003 when I started on Movable Type and ended up on WordPress which is what I use to publish today. With my wife Kerry, I'm the co-founder of Wordfence which protects over 5 million WordPress sites from hackers and is run by a talented team of 36 people. I'm an instrument rated pilot and I fly a Cessna 206 along with a 1964 Cessna 172 in the Pacific Northwest and Colorado. I'm originally from Cape Town, South Africa but live in the US these days. I code in a bunch of languages and am quite excited about our emerging AI overlords and how they're going to be putting us to work for them.
