Re: [ossig] 2 Malaysian organisations among 50 best uptimes

Uh, I think you're both saying the same thing here. Note that Nai Siew 
said "the default installation of Apache Web Server for Red Hat Linux
is rebooted EVERY DAY just to do log rotation" and you said, "just run 
'apachectl restart'". In both cases, it's not the OS being restarted but 
Apache. I run Red Hat and I'd be very, very upset if my desktop was 
rebooted every day and I had to restart all my apps again. :)

Restarting Apache will not affect a system's uptime - as Dinesh said, 
the daemon (httpd) is the one restarted, not the entire OS itself. 
Unless one is messing around with the kernel, a full system reboot 
shouldn't be necessary.
