<BR>
Most of you are running *nix indicate how stable you servers are and how some of<BR>
you systems have been running for a year or more without shutting down.<BR>
<BR>
My question - How often do you shut down to clean the server? You know , get<BR>
rid of those pesky dust balls from the fan openings, and inside the case.<BR>
<BR>
Most of these servers are not located in clean-rooms.<BR>
<BR>
Do any of you do the same for workstations? I find they are worse then the<BR>
servers.<BR>

Once a year or, for "severe duty", every six months.<BR>
