There isn't really a "good" about of time for a server to be up. I've had
servers that ran for two years without a reboot flawlessly. I've also had
heavily loaded machines that needed to be rebooted once a week.
It's a matter of two things really, what the box is doing relative to the
hardware it has and personal preference.
I have a webserver that gets moderate traffic that I reboot once every
other month, just to clean out zombied processes and whatnot. I have a
desktop machine at home that runs my lan as a router that hasn't been
rebooted since March when I set it up.
Hope this helps.
