Well, I recently upgraded my box & am still not finished tweaking it, so 
I've been rebooting a bit lately.  Before that, though, I hadn't 
rebooted in months.  I only ever restarted mythbackend when I upgraded 
to latest CVS (used to be weekly, though now it's more like monthly -- 
I just don't have the time!).

My old config:

RH8
Athlon XP 1600+
Asus A7A266 mobo
WinTV-radio (401) w/btaudio
Leadtek GeForce4 MX 420 AGP
IRman receiver
RS-2103 5-in-1 remote
Gyration RF keyboard & mouse
DLink wlan card
256MB SDRAM


My new config seems very stable (I haven't had any ivtv driver problems, 
haven't even had to reload the driver).  Same box, but I pulled the 
WinTV card and installed:

Fedora Core 1 (using Jarod's guide)
2 AverMedia M-179s
(now using XvMC for playback)

Again, I haven't had to reboot or restart mythbackend (except for kernel 
upgrades, hardware swaps, Myth upgrades).
