Longest box I've had up was 745 days, 22 hours 36 minutes, OpenBSD 3.1 with GENERIC kernel. It was a firewall for a mail server, that's all it did, and the one requirement was as much uptime as possible, I guess I succeeded there. It's long gone now, and not the best thing to do (leave a box up for 2+ years) but it's nice to know OpenBSD can stay up that long with absolutely no issues what-so-ever.
