And that means rebooting.
Erm? Why is a reboot a problem?
Do you run Ubuntu on your server? (In which case, why would you be considering a Release Candidate?)
Or do you never reboot your home PC? (Surely you can afford a scheduled reboot overnight when you're sleeping).
Or are you just after uptime bragging rights? (That's really a bit sad on a home computer that isn't under heavy load)

Takes effort to startup the programs that I keep running all the time on it.
Takes more effort to script them so I don't have to spend effort starting them up on every reboot.

Among the features are "cloud computing" and "turn-key" email servers. *groan*. You guys have been saying "linux needs an advertising dept"...well this is what happens.

Ubuntu is linux-based, not Windows. We're not used to rebooting all the time.
Every 18 months is not "all the time".

How did you ever get Linux on your system in the first place?
My present hypothesis is that your system crashed and the Ubuntu CD was marginally closer to your workstation than the Windows reinstall disk.
