I have heard from a lot of places that one of the strengths of Linux is that you do not have to reboot it all the time. I am under the impression that this is easier on your hardware and I am wondering if that is true. I have a Dell Inspiron laptop, and in general I leave it on, trying only to do warm reboots when necessary. I do not use suspend because it tends to mess some things up (Like Kinternet) that only recover after a cold reboot. As I understand it, this is less stressful for the hard drive, as the spinning up and down is what wears it out. Can anybody tell me if what I am doing will make my computer last longer? And if not, what is the best way to use your computer to make it last the longest? Thank You Neal McDermott
