Potentially a dumb query but I just don't know, and there doesn't seem 
to be any documented discussion I can read, so pls humor me on this:

after Etch has done its daily update via update mngr, is it generally 
considered a wise thing to reboot the computer to check the take or can 
one have a reasonably good degree of confidence that as far as is 
reasonable to predict, all will be well?
    

The only reason you need to reboot is when the kernel is updated.
Rebooting after a general upgrade will make no difference.

Thanks for responding to my query. I liked Ron's suggestion of checkrestart and will use that to double check.

Thanks all
