You need to reboot to get kernel updates. |

If you want kernel updates without rebooting, look into something like ksplice. |

How much have you installed in the meantime. Are you sure it'll come back up? |

THIS. Always* reboot after doing major installs. Otherwise it WILL bite you in the ass.
* And/or make copious notes about what you've done. |

| Or if you want enforced, semi-regular reboots, you could just run in the Fremont datacenter... :wink: :wink: |

| Yeah, those of us with the 'pleasure' of being in fremont know pretty well whether our systems come up ok after a hard power off... |

| It should be noted that, since the above graph is live, it currently lists an uptime of 9 days ;) |

Ha, I didn't notice that. It seems that OP rebooted his Linode twice in the 3 weeks since hitting his 385-day uptime record. Since the Linode is definitely not in Fremont, we could assume that these were probably user-initiated reboots. |

This is probably the best feature of the Fremont datacentre :P |
