Server Retired After 18 Years Running on FreeBSD 2.2.1 and a Pentium 200MHZ
I set up a FreeBSD box at a computer shop I worked at in high school. We had a T1 and static IP, so I set up some routes to make it internet accessible (my boss wanted to use it to host pictures for his eBay transactions).<p>I set it up, threw it under a table in the corner with nothing but a power and ethernet cable, and moved on.<p>I was surprised when 5 years later he called to ask why it had stopped working. I told him where it was, he rebooted it, and it came back.<p>(My memory was a little fuzzy but I probably set it up in 2001-2002 and it ran until at least 2007-2008)
