it’s actually a bad thing to have such a long uptime.

Are you *sure* your box will come back up if a reboot is required?

OK, im a late comer.

Happy birthday! And i *really* appreciate the service. A good price, and great uptime.

Speaking of uptime:

$ uptime
01:11:24 up 260 days, 16:11, 1 user, load average: 0.20, 0.61, 0.88

So, i don’t want to reboot.

It is. Your Linode is assigned 200M (200 *1024k). It’s just that the kernel itself takes some of that ram, just like a kernel on physical hardware.

Thanks!!

I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth…

But, from ‘free’ output:

[code]$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 195300 166840 28460 0 28140 75220
-/+ buffers/cache: 63480 131820
Swap: 263160 0 263160
[/code]

This used to be a Linode 128, which then became a Linode 160, and is now a Linode 200.

Wouldn’t 200 MB be 200 * 1024 = 204,800 KB, though?

Would you mind not upgrading the service so often?

Some of us are trying [u]not[/u] to reboot unless absolutely necessary.

But seriously, thanks man.
