572 days were accounted for in the output of uptimed but I had this same Linode allocated to me since oct 20th 2008, thats about 30 months that it has been up and run a variety of distros starting with Gentoo, then CentOS 5, Debian, and now I am switching to a new linode running Ubuntu server LTE 10.04.

The justification for deploying to another server instead of keeping this one came from the fact that I wanted to switch to a 32bit OS and also wanted to run Nginx as a front end proxy for the sites I was hosting to get better performance from its caching module.
