No More Need To Reboot Fedora w/ Ksplice 262

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday August 31, 2010 @04:10PM from the stacking-your-nines dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Ksplice, the technology that allows Linux kernel updates without a reboot, is now free for users of the Fedora distribution. Using Ksplice is like 'replacing your car's engine while speeding down the highway,' and it can potentially save your Linux systems from a lot of downtime. Since Fedora users often live on the bleeding edge of Linux development, Ksplice makes it even easier to do so, and without reboots!"

Is it 4% would or wouldn't buy another 360 because of the failures? Your summary and the summary here have opposite quotes.

"Impressively, only 4% of respondents said they wouldn't buy a new 360 because of hardware failures."
OR
"3.8% said they would buy another Xbox (due to failures) and the survey found they had rather shoddy customer service."

Bad grammar not a troll, OSX can be put on a mini9 but it's a bit of work it does however run faster than you'd think, not lightweight though.

I've had almost the exact same experience on my Dell mini 9, tried XP, ubuntu, Xubuntu, OSX and a host of other lightweight linux distros and still found Win7 to be easily the best.

As far as I can tell it runs just as fast as any of the lightweight linux installs i put on it, and in many cases better, while still looking better.

My 2 cents
