Thats one reason we (the missus and I) love running Linux; the only time you have to reboot is if you update your kernel (think of it as the master program that drives your computer). Anything else does not require a reboot which makes us all the more impatient with Windows when we have to use it and reboot all the time. Now I have not used it personally but I just read where in the next kernel release we won't even have to reboot then; something called "ksplice" can patch your kernel with updates while it is running. As for garden-variety shared objects (.so files, similar to DLLs in purpose, if not execution) you should never have to reboot. That is how we manage to pull off uptime statistics measured in years..
