    A simple way is to use the command uptime.

    Example:

    $ uptime 
 15:26:58 up  2:34,  3 users,  load average: 0.27, 0.28, 0.30

    That means it's now 15:26 and my computer has been up for 2:34 hours.

    If you prefer a desktop program, there are several that can show the up time, for example Conky or GKrellM.

    Conky (screenshot from the Conky web site):
