FWIW, I have one RedHat 6 server only machine that runs mostly as a pop and web server that only gets rebooted when we clean it every 6 months or so.... Of course I monitor the memory and disk usage on a regular basis. But the wonderful thing about the os is that it has none of those inherent memory leaks that seems to continue to plague Microsoft products......
