For varying definitions of "some regularity".  My box has been up for
approaching a month and a half:

 11:11am  up 41 days, 11 min,  4 users,  load average: 3.14, 2.52, 2.33

...and tends to stay up for a while (mostly powerouts lately):

- Uptime for navel -
Now  : 41 day(s), 00:12:15 running Linux 2.2.14
One  : 44 day(s), 19:44:42 running Linux 2.2.14, ended Wed Apr 19 01:26:29 2000
Two  : 41 day(s), 00:12:04 running Linux 2.2.14, ended Sun Jul 23 11:11:13 2000
Three: 40 day(s), 05:23:25 running Linux 2.2.14, ended Mon May 29 07:13:22 2000

My work box is somewhat infamously unstable (previously a 
2.2.14 kernel / smbfs bug, currently scsi errors propogating to X
lockups), but I tend to get a week or more out of it at a stretch --
enough that I haven't taken the time to root out the problem.

My X session here at home has been running since June 12 -- 11 days.
Pretty good, don't recall why I took it down the last time.

I'll also add that WindowMaker is officially beta -- it's an 0.6x
release currently.  Not that version number have necessarily had any
relationship to software stability....
