Subject: [gentoo-user] system uptime
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2015 00:04:43 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150830040443.GA1081@ca.inter.net> (raw)

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 ?
