I find this a crazy statement.... are you sure you sure you aren't
getting confused with Windows NT.

Again... crazy. There is no need for any such thing. The only time you
really need to reboot Linux.. is to change hardware/kernel.

Rebooting Linux or any Unix to fix a problem... doesn't fix the problem.
It just hides it for a while.


I know of a number of machines (that I setup) that have been up for
greater than 6 months.... but this is not really anything special. In
Unix... uptimes are regulary measued in years.
