Only last night on skype I had to do some convincing of a guy that he didn't need to reboot Linux to get vmware-server running - it was tough.
This confirms that a reboot is a) superfluous and b) useless when using Linux ;-) (OK, kernel updates are an exception.) Reminds me that "kexec" is supposed to allow swapping running kernels, I haven't played with it since the early releases when I had a problem with it. I have it turned on in all my kernels since way back then.
There is a saying by aeroplane designers - To fly the plane of the future, you'll only need a pilot and a dog. The pilot's job will be to feed the dog and the dog will be there to bite the pilot if he touches anything. May be we could come up with something similar to stop pointless reboots.
