[Cialug] uptime

[Daniel A. Ramaley]

I've used up2date on the RHEL machines at work and no, it doesn't force 
you to reboot. But then the new kernel doesn't actually take effect. 
Under Debian aptitude doesn't force me to reboot either, though it is 
helpful enough to display a message strongly encouraging a reboot.

I used to care about uptimes, but now i keep my kernels patched instead.
