Actually there are many conditions that will require a full reboot of any 
GNU/Linux computer.

Most changes (especially those that go well) do not require reboots, this much 
is true.

Where the legendary reliability of GNU/Linux comes into play is in the fact 
that they can have astounding up time, unlike most Windows systems.

But anyone with any real hands on experience with operating systems will tell 
you that troubles can and do occur. And if it's bad enough it will require a 
reboot - no matter what the operating system is.

But it will happen much, much, much, less often with GNU/Linux.

Don.

Of course, you don't really need to reboot just because you changed
