I used to run an MP3 jukebox with NetBSD, the thing would just keep on ticking, the only thing that killed it was the hard disks and motherboard dying of old age, sadly, as it was a custom build by a mate of a mate, I had to use something else for its replacement. But yes, once going, doing what you need it to, it will in theory just keep on going until the hardware it runs on dies out, or you get rooted because you have an uptime of several years and never patched anything, though beyond patching of the kernel, you shouldn't need to reboot for patching.

An absolutely superb OS for backroom operations, though I've not tried it as a desktop.
Blessed Be,
