The Glory Days of Linux are Gone!!!

Well the glory days of Linux are gone. Every time I update packages I have to reboot. :wtf: Linux never used to be this way. You could (almost) recompile the entire kernel without rebooting. Now you update a man page and it wants to reboot.:sigh: Ancient of days! august Athena! where, Where are thy men of might?:|

Hehe, that did made me laugh! Takes a bit of the stress away from a week of rescueing crashing servers! (But no seriously, they are working for Microsoft! They must have some kind of might getting money for what they do!)

I bet you're running ubuntu or a distro similar to that one. I have run linux for quite some time now and I never had to reboot for updates, only for the kernel image.

I used to use Ubuntu all the time, and only had to reboot for kernel updates. However...now I use Windows all the time because the h/w support sucks, and will be getting a Mac next time I need a new machine. Linux simply isn't ready for the desktop.

I have been playing with Ubuntu (Edgy) for the last few weeks and have applied many updates with no need to reboot...

Thanks for the warning - I was considering playing with the beta today but I think I'll wait for the official release now. I'm lovin' Ubuntu BTW. Been using KDevelop to develop my first Linux app - KDevelop is very impressive, especially considering it's free. :)

I especially find this funny considering I knew someone that was always trying to get me to switch to linux and he told me you NEVER have to reboot linux to install an update EVER. Then again this guy was a little special, I was writing a tool to for a something very windows specific in MFC and he told me that I should be writing it in some opensource/multiplatform crap (no seriously the technology he suggested was crap, just don't remember the name) so that it could run on multiple platforms... even though it was specific to something that only ran on windows.

Yeah, I know. It's the distro just flamed and abandoned by the grand pooba of the open source world and linux high priest. FC6. I think I'll junk it and get a different distro. It is funny though... I mean Linux should be linux (under the hood) why the need for reboot? It's Linux??? (That's rhetorical as plainly someone feels the need to bounce the box but still).

Some people don't need an extremely configurable, flexible and robust tool Lauren. We can feel sorry for them but ;) we understand and show compassion.:laugh:
