How long do desktop users typically leave their systems between reboots ? How long between power off/on's ?
I've long been in the habit of switching everything off while I sleep, then restarting after I've woken & got going again myself. However recently, I've run into delays getting my router (only 1 device attached) to shake hands successfully with my ISP's server, which have been requiring several power off/on's before it works. As a result, I've started rebooting only after my weekly system update -- it means I get to use the new versions of everything -- & not powering off at all ; the monitor + Xscreensaver are off whenever I'm away from the machine for >= 1 hr (approx). Are there any pro's/con's I sb aware of ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
