As Alan wrote, dedicated-to-one-job servers can be quite stable;
here's something from one of our mailservers:

10:46 [poczta(p0)$/home/lech7] last -6 reboot
reboot ~ Thu Jun 16 07:35 [2000]
reboot ~ Thu Jun 16 07:35 [2000]

reboot ~ Mon Sep 16 16:03 [1996]

I added year in square brackets, to make the right impression:
