Re: I will put up with the occasional reboot
"Not rebooting for more than 4 months on your home PC isn't lazy, it's obstinate."
A reboot is the occasion you get to test that startup scripts and related gubbins are working correctly. You have more chance of sorting out problems if you are not changing a whole load of stuff at once.
To those who are proud of long uptimes, especially on servers, consider this:
Your uptime represents the amount of time since you last tested your startup.
