And this is from a *buntu repo? Worth a squawk on the *buntu mailing list 
IMO.

Early boards were pretty bad, if you define early as back in the '90's. 
This nearly $300 Asus board, one of the first to support the quad core 
phenom, and now most of a decade old, has never done anything like that.
Unless the psu is going to hell, it just sits here and runs. Most reboots 
are triggered by something that demands it,but barring that, uptimes run 
in the 60 day range.
