Different OS Kernel Update Frequency
Hi guys
I'm trying to configure a collaboration suit (PHP, PostgreSQL, Apache) plus a mail server(Sendmail and Dovecot) on a single box. It will be used heavily 24*7. So having a long up time is really needed. I'm looking for 3 to 6 month up time. I want to know about kernel update frequency(because they are causing server reboot) for different operating systems such as Linux(CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu Server Edition), FreeBSD NetBSD, OpenBSD.
Could anyone help? I'm not trying to make a Linux vs BSD question as it is against forum rules.

DESCRIPTION
gogoc provides a means to configure a tunnel obtained from a tunnel server that supports the tunnel setup protocol (TSP). gogoc will connect
to a tunnel server and request a tunnel according to the specifications given in the configuration file. As a background process, it will

Supported on FreeBSD and Windows.
ARGUMENTS

-h, -? Displays a short usage summary and quits.
-y Automatically accept server's public key.
-n Run as a foreground process.
-b Stop trying to reconnect upon first error received.
