Angel went down today   Tweet

Angel went down this morning, after having been up for 18 months. Angel is our Linux server, which has been up for one year and eight months without a reboot. Try that on a Windows machine. As Angels metal house, a dual processor Pentium IV server, is standing in a university server building somewehere in Holland, somebody had to make a call to someone, and another someone started to ask himself the hack in which corner they'd placed that machine in december 2001. When they finally found it, the culprit was a broken fan, so the machine had overheated and come to a safety stop. Eighteen months is so different from Windows machines that leak themselves to multiple crashes, were you have a fat chance of crashed disks because of the multiple daily reboots.
