Well I don't think so. Speaking about a Linux machine, knowing when it
was last rebooted may give you an idea of the kernel version it's
running, so you can focus on bugs fixed in later kernels, and you'll
probably get r00t ;-)

I had never thought of it, but I think what I've said is right, ain't
it?
