If a basic library used in almost all applications is updated (recent updates to libxml* or libkrb* come to mind) then you would have to restart many many services on your workstation, and also to log out and log in back, when X uses them.
When I do an update with Yast, it automagically restarts the affected services, if needed. I have never seen it recommend a reboot, except on kernel update. Now compare this with Windows, where installing or updating almost anything will require a reboot and sometimes that reboot occurs when you're in the middle of using the computer, as Steve Ballmer found out the hard way, in the middle of a presentation. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
