  Well only thing what u can do, is to load some MOST used apps from
n_aes.cnf and never quit them.. I use everest as default viever so its
loaded all the time..  This way u have less ram after bootup, but it helps
slowing down the fragmentation.. But i guess u already use that?

  BTW i think its impossible for me to reach such uptime anyway ;) i run
lotsa weird apps and i succed to crash system soon or later ;) But
seriously, long uptime is good, but why not reset system from time to
time? I would be a lot more annoying if MiNT wouldnt be stable as it is,
and it is ROCK stable.....
