It would give me a chance to really test out my new more powerful cable internet.

There is a new version of Fedora out so either today or next weekend,
there will be a time when my servers are out for 4 or 5 hours, so I can run the upgrade.

I run mine on a 4 hour turn over schedule with no ill effects.
But running servers too long does have an effect.
If you see "double spawns" (one weapon right on top of another weapon), its a sure sign the server needs restarting badly.
