Solaris Machine Shut Down After 3737 Days of Uptime

Posted by timothy on from the those-are-some-crazy-socks dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After running uninterrupted for 3737 days, this humble Sun 280R server running Solaris 9 was shut down. At the time of making the video it was idle, the last service it had was removed sometime last year. A tribute video was made with some feelings about Sun, Solaris, the walk to the data center and freeing a machine from internet-slavery."

    Why would "missing patches" be of concern for a Unix machine?

    That sounds like the sort of thing a WinDOS consumer would need to be fixated on, not an "educated sysadmin".
