We have eliminated all but one Windows PC. We have found that
unless we re-boot it EVERY 48 hours it become slow, hangs, drops the
network... So IMO rebooting is part of Windows SOP (Standard Operating

The only time we reboot any of our Linux systems is:
When we upgrade something.
When we are testing drivers/devices etc.
