I've had servers that ran for two years without a reboot flawlessly. I've also had heavily loaded machines that needed to be rebooted once a week. It's a matter of two things really, what the box is doing relative to the hardware it has and personal preference. I have a webserver that gets moderate traffic that I reboot once every other month, just to clean out zombied processes and whatnot. I have a desktop machine at home that runs my lan as a router that hasn't been rebooted since March when I set it up. Hope this helps. --Damon _ _ |__/| .~ ~. /o=o'`./ .' {o__, \ { / . . ) \ `-` '-' \ } .( _( )_.'
