Your microsoft background is showing again ;)

Old school linux people don't like to reboot - I usually get 40-100 days
uptime on my desktop boxes, rebooting for kernel upgrades. I'm a little
more conservative on my home servers, and they routinely have 6 month
uptimes. At work we tend to have the 400-600 day uptimes in the server room.
