Re:Ah, but you miss the point, grasshopper (Score 1)

I'm here to refute your claim that all NT users who claim remarkable uptimes are cowards. Note that my nick is real. The NT server that I manage for our development group stays up for MONTHS at a time!!! The only reason it goes down is 1) Long power outages beyond the battery life of my UPS (certainly not an NT problem); and 2) the crappy 3COM NIC with the damn bent bracket causes the PCI card to not seat properly!!! (again not an NT problem). Other than that, I never reboot it. The biggest problem I have found with most OS's requiring frequent reboots is the fact that the sysadmins won't leave well enough alone. They always have to tinker. The exceptions to this are Win95/98 (memory fragmentation problems in the crappy memory management require frequent reboots), the Mac OS, Solaris, and my own Linux box that I constantly tinker with (therefore I am to blame not the OS).
