Who reboots anymore?  ;-)  I just close the lid on my MacBook and it 
goes to sleep.  If the battery gets too low, it wakes up just in time, 
and hibernates.

(And while I wish I could force it to just hibernate, I must admit, it 
"just works" for the 80/20 rule.  When I need to KNOW it's not using 
power, I do shut it down  Its boot time smokes everything else in the 
house.)

Heh heh... designed for users, not for devs.  No "volunteer" excuses 
either.

Back to Linux... I never boot the servers, and that's all I'm using 
Linux for these days... they only boot if the UPS runs out or the 
hardware watchdog device notices they're not answering pings on the 
local LAN for whatever reason.  (I have to be careful with how long the 
switch/router is unplugged if I have to rearrange cables!  haha...)
