I have a bare linux box that I use for long-term rendering. I've left this
running for a couple of weeks at least. Most of my 'final' renders don't
usually take longer than a couple of days though, since I take quite a lot of
time to optimise, and rarely use refraction-heavy scenes. (Although I've not
rendered anything without radiosity for a long time :) )
