You'll see a Solaris there. Occasionally. I don't think I've ever seen a Linux. It's exclusively BSD/OS and FreeBSD most of the time.

The reason why is explained on the site, particularly the FAQ entry why don't some operating systems show an uptime above 497 days?. Another choice quote from the FAQ: "HP-UX, Linux, NetApp NetCache, Solaris and recent releases of FreeBSD cycle back to zero after 497 days, exactly as if the machine had been rebooted at that precise point. Thus it is not possible to see a HP-UX, Linux or Solaris system with an uptime measurement above 497 days." I think you'd likely see a fairly good distribution of different operating systems, including the BSDs and Linuxes (Linices?), if this 497 day limitation weren't there.
