This is not 100% accurate.  I have had one linux box that had to be rebooted
on a daily basis.  I used it to provide music-on-hold for our switchboard
using MP3's created by our local radio station and bespoke software.

If the box ran for >24 hours the audit out got stuffed.

That's the only time I've ever had a Linux box requiring reboots though.
