I had to reboot due to my USB network adaptor stopping, had uptime of
about 3 months before that. No idea why it stopped but a reboot got it
going again. Rebooting probably wasn't necessary, but with limited
linux knowledge and no internet on the box to trouble shoot it seemed
the easiest solution. Btw, I wouldn't recommend a USB network adaptor,
absolute pain to get going.
I have occasional frontend crashes (maybe once a month) and just need
to restart mythfrontend to recover. They're always when moving about
between menus, and thus it's not really a problem to just restart.
Backend is rock solid.
