Speaking of uptime, wikipedia has a fairly interesting article on
that:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uptime

One of the things it mentions is that the longest known uptime on a
unix box is currently 6 years, no, it's not a gnu/linux system. It
also tells you how to find out the uptime of a nt family windblows
system if anybody cares.

It also has a link to another article that exactly explains the load
average output you get when typing uptime at the prompt on a unix
system. I always knew of course that a load average of 2 was putting
more load on the system than 0.50 for example, and that the values
displayed were for 1, 5, and 15 minutes respectively, but I never knew
until now exactly how to interpret that output.
