Well, I think uptime is over rated as a system quality measure in
any event.

We run a slew of Solaris servers and rebooting seems to clean up
a lot of little annoyances. I'm of the opinion that most systems
regardless of OS should be restarted on a regular basis, say
monthly. Of course some of them just do this on their own accord
too. It helps if they're clustered or have a backup online as far
as application availabilty goes.
