[Wylug-discuss] Rebooting Unix/Linux boxen...

Can someone settle a dispute for me.

I'm trying to argue why a Unix/Linux box should need a reboot (other
than for a kernel upgrade.)

The arguement is that NT/2K/XP boxen seem to NEED rebooting on a
fairly regular basis.

I'm trying to argue that it shouldn't be necessaryu to reboot a Unix/Linux
box.

So what I suppose I need to know is that what are the implications
of rebooting a Linux/Unix box on a daily basis (other than perhaps cache
contents...)
