[COLUG] No more reboots to upgrade the kernel?

[Duane]

"ZDNet is reporting on ksplice, a system for applying patches to the
Linux kernel without rebooting. ksplice requires no kernel
modifications, just the source, the config files, and a patch. Author
Jeff Arnold discusses the system in a technical overview paper (PDF).
Ted Ts'o comments, 'Users in the carrier grade linux space have been
clamoring for this for a while. If you are a carrier in telephony and
don't want downtime, this stuff is pure gold.'"
