My longest time was 400 days.  That was also the longest period of  
time in memory that eastern Virginia has gone without a multi-day  
regional power outtage.

My UPS can only keep it going for a little while, and I have no  
generator.

During that 400 days, I believe I lost power about 15 times, but the  
longest was 10 minutes so I didn't have to shut down.

NetBSD is great.

My Solaris 10 box is nowhere near as simple to take care of, but it  
seems pretty solid as well.  No unplanned downtime since I started  
using it, except for power failures.
