***Do you perform downtimes just for the purpose of rebooting the systems? ***Is there a recommended interval Linux system should be rebooted?
Okay, here's my short answer:
Regardless of OS, you should _always_ reserve dates/times for preventive maintenance on a regular basis.
But I agree with most others, unless it is a kernel upgrade or GLibC change, there's no absolutely need to reboot. Not even during preventive maintanence should you feel compelled.
