No More Need To Reboot Fedora w/ Ksplice 262
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!"

When you have around 1500 production servers to patch, such as with the memmap 0 bug last year, doing them one-by-one, or even in small batches, remotely over IP KVM takes a long-ass time.
One single line using pssh, dsh, dish, or no lines at all when using a very fancied up puppet configuration?
Do you like toggle in boot code over the IP KVM like a PDP-8 or what?
The ability to do something the hard way, does not prove the lack of existence of an easier way.

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