[ale] Linux is such a workhorse

[Bob Toxen]

White box, 80 MHz AMD overclocked to 100 MHZ, 9 years old, SMD NIC 9 years old,
disks and PS just chil'en at about 5 years old.  Firewall running 24x7:

5:25pm  up 318 days, 23:57,  2 users,  load average: 0.11, 0.06, 0.03

My old laptop also made it to 10 months until I removed both the battery
and AC at the same time.

I'm hoping to break my all time Unix record of 1.5 years.  It was rotten
luck that after this 1.5 years we had to ship that box to Rotterdam.
