Same here the only time I need to reboot my Win2k servers is when I do updates on them but I do it more frequently then that.. I do it about every month or so. Since we run to many public domains on our servers we would be hacked in no time if we waited that long.
My linux boxes I rarely ever reboots. Only time they get rebooted is when there is a kernel update that I need or want that fixes some security issues on a kernel level (rarely but do happen) which means that that is the only time I need to reboot. For all other bug/security fixes no reboot is required. Once I missed a kernel update and had had a box up and running for 1 year 4 months before it finally got hacked due to a bad remote exploit. I not ever been close to that with any windows machines because every time there is a update of any sort almost you have to reboot...
