No More Need To Reboot Fedora w/ Ksplice

Posted by CmdrTaco on 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!"

    They should have stuck with their original slogan: "Using Ksplice is like updating your kernel without rebooting"
