I can totally relate to this, it's gotten to the point that I'm just as scared of rebooting my Linux boxes as I was of rebooting my windows machine a couple of decades ago. And quite probably more scared.

What distro?

  The box that I'm worried about in particular is running RedHat. Ubuntu boxes: usually ok as long as you stay away from anything python related in the core system.
