Hmmmm, this quoting thing didn't work right again. |

For me, it is faster. Also, rebooting can uncover a problem that I |
35 |
might not know about. I've had a few times where I couldn't reboot for |
36 |
some unknown reason. Plus, all the common stuff remains in cache. Most |
37 |
of the time tho, just logging out of a GUI, KDE for me, is enough. |
38 |
Using checkrestart should tell me exactly what needs to be restarted and |
39 |
most of the time how. About the only thing I have to restart manually, |
40 |
udev. It's one thing that has a regular update that doesn't restart |
41 |
since it is already started before getting to the boot runlevel. |
42 |
|
43 |
To each his own tho. All of us has our own way of doing things of this |
44 |
nature and for varying reasons. Some shutdown because electricity is |
45 |
expensive. For some, that doesn't matter. Some do it to just reduce |
46 |
noise from the fans etc. One reason I leave mine on all the time is |
47 |
that I almost always have mine doing something. I have tons of TV shows |
48 |
and such on here. If I'm not doing something myself, I have it doing |
49 |
something. |
