My first reaction on seeing advice to reboot is to think "what idiot wrote this" but I will for the time being withhold judgement until I can find a copy of that and read the context. If my first impression is correct though, it wouldn't be the first time some well meaning writer from a microsoft background recommended a completely unnecessary reboot on a linux system, supposedly to cause some trivial configuration change take effect.
