My slug has Debian Etch installed on a Hitachi 100 GB 2.5" USB drive.
It's powered from a UPS and I only shutdown/reboot for
maintenance/
20:08 hours, which fits with the last kernel upgrade in Oct 2008.
IMO, leaving the slug (or any electronic device) alway on is far less
stressful than powering it on/off daily. It's also important to keep it
well ventilated and in an area where the temperature is below 76 F/25 C
degrees.
