Fedora Introduces Offline Updates 287
itwbennett writes "Thanks to a new feature approved this week by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee, you won't hear Fedora 18 users bragging about systems that have been running continuously for months on end. 'Fedora's new Offline System Update feature will change the current system to something that is more Windows- and OS X-like: while many updates can still be made on the fly, certain package updates will require the system to be restarted so the patches can be applied in a special mode, according to the Fedora wiki page on the feature,' writes blogger Brian Proffitt."

That's one thing OSX does right. It *shows* you if you need to reboot for EACH package. Microsoft _still_ can't get this right after how many years?? "This update may require to reboot." WTF you don't know?? Either it modifies kernel files or it doesn't? Either the resources provided by a .dll are in use or they are not. It's not fucking rocket science.

I'll wait until I can actually do anything remotely useful in Linux, then I'll be happy.
Ignorance isn't bliss then?
