Again, it depends on what you're doing and where the Linux is living. I'll 
grant that *desktop* linux systems rarely *need* rebooting. And I'd argue 
that if you have a server whose *only* job is being a web server, then 
restarting the web server after an upgrade is essentially the same as a 
reboot, except faster.
