I don't think I buy that. It's not a terrible idea to reboot a machine (if you have the luxury) after you make lots of changes simply to make sure that if comes back up in the same state you left it. That way if you lose power in the middle of the night, you don't get the 6am calls from users complaining that the database (web server, app server, etc) isn't running. -- Matt Piechota
