I've setup a VPS based on Debian 6 yesterday.

Today I've run `apt-get update` and `apt-get upgrade` to get security fixes.

It updated libc6 and some other essential packages.

Should I reboot my production Web server? If yes, how often?

If the kernel changes then you can consider a reboot. Simple changes tothe web server application merely require restarting it. However, ifyour web server get reasonable usage, consider running two servers asVMs or on separate hardware so that one can take over when the otherreboots.
