I'm not quite sure what the fascination is with long uptimes. It's
good to reboot the system from time to time, not because it needs it,
but just to prove that you still can.

There's nothing like sweating profusely when a server crashes at 9:25
one morning and refuses to come back up and you don't know where to
start looking to make you think that uptimes aren't the be-all and
end-all.
