The server that is most far away from me (500km) has a uptime of 62 days.
The reason for reboot was the install of NetBSD 2.0.2
(kern.boottime = Fri Apr 15 15:22:15 2005) NetBSD 2.0.2, was released on April 12, 2005

The Machine runs apache 2, postgres, postfix with quite some domains, named, clamav scans every 
email and some other stuff like subversion for projects with >70 MB source.

Debian? I run that on my TV. Try to fill up the "/" file system and see what happens :-)
But I prefer Debian over other Linux distros I tried. 

NetBSD needs drivers for fancy hardware like DVB-S TV cards and some other stuff, but for servers and 
systems that hat to be *stable* I recomment NetBSD

best whishes.
