sirdiesalot1112:
Well.. I filled out my profile for you all to have a look at.. and My system specs are:
AMD Athlon 650Mhz @ 722MHz
416MB ram
Soyo SY-K7VIA mobo
Geforce 3 Ti 500 (FREE!!!! so dont make fun)
30GB WDC 5400RPM HDD
33.6 USRobotics external serial modem
8x8x32 CD-R/W
48X CDROM
350W PSU
SBlive
Linksys LNE100TX network card
Current uptime with Slackware linux (2.4.5 kernel)
4 days 11 hours
(rebooted to play halflife, can't figure out how to configure wine properly)
My system's longest uptime in windows (98se) was 3 days, but i was gone for one of them
longest uptime for linux was like 4 months or something, and it turned off cause of power outage . :(
I can overclock my CPU to 722MHz and it's rock solid (it was OC to 722 when i had it on for 4 months)

Why would anyone make fun of your GeForce 3 Ti500? There is absolutely nothing wrong with a GF3 Ti500. It is able to run any game currently available that you can throw at it. Heck, that GF3 is the best piece of hardware in the sytsem you just listed. ;P

damn it i had to restart Linux today. it didn't crash but my first login session froze, the login that i work in (login 2) worked great but i figured that having a frozen desktop can't be good so i restarted.

If we are going to have a longest running time competition, my longest is 3 weeks, 2 days...
... on a PowerBook
Also, I will work on my profile, I just didn't bother to write anything when I registered... I wasn't being secretive or anything.

You could have just killed/restarted the desktop. I haven't had that happen to me in a long long long long time but I have always been able to restart X if I had a lockup like that without rebooting (even had to remotely log in before to kill/restart X). And unlike Windows processes don't leave allocated memory lying around, the OS cleans up these situations after being killed.
