Please, teach me: how do you manage to get Linux uptime this long (a year, or even 220 days). In my observation at least once every 45 days there is either Kernel security update or glibc one. And each one of them required machine reboot. And all Linux distributions are based both on Linux kernel and on glibc. Thanks in advance for your insight!
