FW: [Malvern] Memory Reliability

Hi Keith

The "all sys admins" is the perception I've built up over the past couple of
years reading posts on various lists.

I'm more than happy to be corrected!

"any sysadmins"? NO Linux sysadmin that I know of (and I know a few)
advocates this for Linux.

Do the people you are referring to have any kind of evidence, or do they
believe it is "just a good thing" to reboot Linux servers?
