How old is your Slackware system?
by upnort from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YMNC)
Once upon a time uptime was a noteworthy benchmark. Not any more with security patches occurring on a daily basis.
How long have your Slackware systems been running? There probably is no easy answer, but try the following:
Code:for part in $(/bin/df -hT | grep ext4 | awk '{print $1}' | grep ^/dev/sd); do echo $part; tune2fs -l $part | grep created; doneOn my various systems, the office system had the oldest partition:
Thu Sep 30 14:33:29 2010
That is my /usr/local partition, which has always been a separate partition almost since I began using 'nix systems in 2001 and started writing my own shell scripts.
There have been disk upgrades since that 2010 date, but I always used dd to copy that partition when updating the disks. My current office system is the third over the past three decades, with my previous office system built in 2007 and the one before that goes back to the Pentium I days in the 1990s.
The infrequent changes in hardware imply I like stability. :)
Still, interesting that I inadvertently preserved a bit of my own history for 10 years.
Have fun!
