I shut down some nights and leave it running on other nights, depending on
my mood. ;) I don't think there's anything wrong with shutting down like
that. The only effect I can imagine it having is that occasionally you'll
have to wait through partitions (after they've been mounted and unmounted
a certain number of times) being fsck'd when you boot.
