NoStop
That comparison is absolutely idiotic. You do know this very well. I have yet to see a System that is not running a Web server that was not rebooted or Shut Off be it LINUX, Windows,Unix and etc. Just as you very well know you cannot compare a Tricycle to a Automobile
My productions system is a server and even though I run it 24\24 I do need to close it down occasionally for Service and Upkeep. I have 2 other machines that are not servers and I have Fedora on one of them on a sepate partition along with Vista. Have no trouble with either of them but the machine needs to be shut down everyday on account that it is not a server and does not need the 24\24 service plus does not need overheating for a hardware breakdown.
You should have explained this instead of giving the wrong impression
