Nice question.
If you have not switched off the machine after installation
then uptime will get you the info in a roundabout way.
You could take a look at several several file which are
never ever touched after install. One possibility is the
timezone file or any of the executables under any of the
standard UNIX paths /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /sbin and so
on.
There may be many other ways too I am sure.
This question reminds me of the way Neils Bohr replied
when he was asked a simple question.
His answer is breathtakingly beautiful.
