If you use GNU/Linux, you need to reboot only for kernel updates (maybe 3-5 times a year). Every other part of the system can be restarted on its own, without needing the whole OS to go down.

Only reboot on kernel upgrades, in 95% of problems, a reboot may fix it but its not required. I cant stand how people reboot and reboot to fix issues on linux/bsd servers.

Funny coincidence... for some reason, KDE started freezing on my home desktop system so I had to reboot it a couple times. Bah

Good point Unfortunately I had no way to login because I don't have SSHD running on this machine. Guess I'm not 1337 enough... oh well.

I meant the local console (maybe you know it as "text mode").

Reboot it after a kernel upgrade, that is about it... There should be no other need to reboot it, especially if it has been running fine for 1 year without a reboot. Though, you're then saying you went a full year without a single kernel upgrade?
