| 323818 | 2005-02-11 04:09:00 | Do you leave your computer on 24/7 or do you shut it down when you don't use it? And why? |

| 323819 | 2005-02-11 04:13:00 | I usually shut it down as it will keep our Budgie awake :D | Dannz (1668) | ||
| 323820 | 2005-02-11 04:17:00 | I don't leave it on 24/7, but I also don't really shut it down as such. I hibernate almost exclusively. I suppose technically the PC is shut down (powered down), but I don't use the "Shutdown" option. M. |

| 323821 | 2005-02-11 04:20:00 | I always shutdown my PC before I go to bed and use standby during the day when I am not using it | Davesdad (923) | ||
| 323822 | 2005-02-11 04:47:00 | I leave my main computer running 24/7, but turn the LCD monitor off when I am away for any lenght of time. My current uptime is: [jennifer@myth ~]$ uptime 17:33:50 up 11 days, 1:50, 3 users, load average: 0.37, 0.21, 0.14 [jennifer@myth ~]$It would of shown a much greater uptime but I had to reboot it 11 days ago when trouble-shooting why my ADSL was running like molasses on a cold winter's day :rolleyes: Linux is good like that, you only have to reboot if you have installed a new kernel, otherwise you can install/remove/do what you like without having to reboot :D |

Anyways: chill@SuperNova chill $ uptime 17:59:13 up 5 days, 4:36, 9 users, load average: 2.41, 2.46, 2.47 chill@SuperNova chill $ exit logout Connection to 192.168.0.7 closed. chill@Gamma chill $ uptime 17:59:57 up 47 days, 5:47, 2 users, load average: 2.04, 2.05, 2.01 chill@Gamma chill $ |

| 323826 | 2005-02-11 05:19:00 | I turn my main PC off, because it makes too much noise when I sleep - but leave my servers on. | Growly (6) | ||
| 323827 | 2005-02-11 05:42:00 | i leave mine on all night downloading demos and programs i need,i have a countdown timer that turns my pc off at 8am just as i leave for school, so my parents can use the net during the day while im at school . in the weekends i leave it on . i dont think there is any big problems with leaving it on 24/7, but it pay to monitor your temps and get an extra fan if required . |
