At my job we shut down a system with v4 of RHEL that had an uptime of a few years (we have generator power backups).

my worst day was a RHEL 4 server running COBOL for 911 going down because my idiot former boss didn't RAID the system volume at all

thankfully I found a matching CentOS 4.4 image and made it work

We have a Solaris 5 server with an uptime of over 5 years a few more were close to that.

replaced a $20,000 cd rack with 15 cd drives + windows os for network sharing, with a desktop PC running redhat(bureaucracy wanted a support contract). Ripped all their cds w/ dd bash script I wrote for automating add/delete cds for the non-cli types.
