Sorry, I had misunderstood you in a way and did the mistake not to tell you about the
use of our machines.
I am happy, that you get over to Linux and I see, you have a lot of fun ;-).
Our Linux and HP machines are in use 365 days a year never switching them of except
they are broken.
A lot of users are working on each system (round about 50 each machine, often much
more) and you know, users do not behave like system administrators - even if they
connect from a Windows-PC.
Often applications are closed by just switching off the PC and so on; therefore it is
useful to reboot the machine to "clean" it up.
I meant no offense, too - and didn't angry about your opnion.
Stay having a lot of fun.
Greetings, Dietmar
