Congratulations!!!

FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 was (and still is!) one of the stablest UNIX-like
operating systems.

My 386DX/33 with 16MB RAM was running from Aug 15, 1994 until a silent
hang in middle of Oct 1995. After a simple reset it went up again until
March 1996, where I changed to version 2.1.

My 2.1 release running system never had similar long uptimes, since I
had to build some kernels. ;-)
