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.

NAME
gogoc -- gogoCLIENT SYNOPSIS
gogoc [-h] [-?] [-y] [-n] [-b] gogoc [-f config_file] [-i interface_name] [-u interface_name] [-s interface_name] [-r retry_delay] 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 then monitor the state of the tunnel. In the event of a timeout, gogoc will establish a new tunnel. gogoc currently supports three types of tunnels: - v6v4 (IPv6 over IPv4) Supported on FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, Windows, Solaris, Darwin and OpenWRT. - v6udpv4 (IPv6 over UDP over IPv4) Supported on FreeBSD, Linux, Windows, Darwin and OpenWRT. - v4v6 (IPv4 over IPv6 (DSTM)) Supported on FreeBSD and Windows. ARGUMENTS
The following options are available: -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. -f configuration_file Specifies a different configuration file. Default is /etc/gogoc/gogoc.conf. -s interface_name Overrides client_v4 in gogoc.conf(5) -i interface_name Overrides if_tunnel_v6v4 in gogoc.conf(5) -u interface_name Overrides if_tunnel_v6udpv4 in gogoc.conf(5) -r retry_delay Overrides retry_delay in gogoc.conf(5) SEE ALSO
