You thought wrong dude. No one ever said Linux was "bugless"
Perhaps you are confusing bugless with robust, stable, superior to
anything that ever came out of Redmond... :-)
The reboot functionality of Linux is there for three reasons...
1 - To install new hardware.
2 - To upgrade the kernel
3 - For the people who can't bear to let go of Microsoft's apron-strings
Not once have I had to reboot because I installed a new program/package or
because I tweeked or re-configured something (apart from a kernel).
Generally I find that people who constantly reboot Linux are people who
try to do Linux things the Windoze way, and because it is easier than
finding out how to do it the Linux way. Rather than spending 1.5 minutes
finding out how to make a process re-read it's configuration they will
spend 3 minutes re-booting.
