The only time that I have had to do reboots on any of the listed boxes except 
for fedora desktops is to upgrade hardware.  I always do full installs then 
turn off any unused and unneeded services.  

On the desktops, there were 2 situations when I needed to reboot do to an 
update.  I regularily apply all available updates for desktops using yum 
update, but our servers are not publically accessable and are behind 3 
firewalls.  For this reason, I have not found it necessary to keept our 
servers as up to date.

We have 2 servers running redhat 6.x
We have 4 servers running redhat 7.x
We have 3 servers running redhat 8
We have 3 servers running redhat 9
