***Do you perform downtimes just for the purpose of rebooting the
systems?
It's a matter of policy. We do not but all of our customer facing systems are load balanced. If they weren't and the reboot wasn't of an emergency nature then yes, we would reboot during a maintenance window.
***Is there a recommended interval Linux system should be rebooted?
Ideally never. You should only need to reboot for hardware or kernel changes. We have internal machines that have been up for over 3 years without interruption (let the uptime contest begin).

Already beaten me. My record is 2 years 10 months, then I had to reboot so I could install more memory on it.
