>but why would anyone want to reboot a linux server? Mine has only been down once in about 180 days, and that was for lightening overhead, 84 days ago.

It's almost a shame that I shutdown my computer when I'm not using it. First, I don't see the point of letting it run if it's not doing anything, (even though I have a UPS). Second, it's making too much noise at night so I can't sleep! :) I'm a very light sleeper!
