For reboots many users may choose to reboot when they do changes, perhaps habit from windows or OS/2. It is usually not necessary unless you change your kernel or bootloader. |

As for shutdowns there are several arguments for and against. What often kills electronic is the shock between hot and cold so there is an argument about keeping the system on. |

Whether it is always safe to keep the computer on all the time remains to be proven. My son always leaves his computer on and I had to recently replace it, the mother board was gone. Mine which was purchased around the same time has had no issues, I |

get it to go sleep. |
