I was searching on google but all i could find were things that monitored downtime more than up time (ex: 99.99% uptime kind of things) and all I wanted was a simple screen that told me how long it was since last booting.

thanks!

Also "uptime" works pretty well.

Or "top"

All these are console programs.

PW, SpectraLinux is made by a company I'm very familiar with ;).

I like it because it's based on RedHat (the distro I'm most familiar with, and like the best) but it also includes updated versions of a large part of the programs. So when I install SL, I don't have to download 500megs of stuff as the first thing (that's what I usually do with RH, I run the up2date program to get the latest and safest versions of the programs).

There's also the additional CDs, one with third party programs and another with office.

A list of those third party programs and partners can be found here:

We've got people here that have made Finnish distros earlier, so it was an easy step to make a new distro for our purposes (development and servers...)

Enough of the advertisement....:)
