How long do desktop users typically leave their systems between reboots ? |
| 2 |
How long between power off/on's ? |

I've long been in the habit of switching everything off while I sleep, |
| 5 |
then restarting after I've woken & got going again myself. |
| 6 |
However recently, I've run into delays getting my router |
| 7 |
(only 1 device attached) to shake hands successfully with my ISP's server, |
| 8 |
which have been requiring several power off/on's before it works. |
| 9 |
As a result, I've started rebooting only after my weekly system update |
| 10 |
-- it means I get to use the new versions of everything -- |
| 11 |
& not powering off at all ; the monitor + Xscreensaver are off |
| 12 |
whenever I'm away from the machine for >= 1 hr (approx). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Are there any pro's/con's I sb aware of ? |
