Oh yes, there are times when a reboot is the simplest option, it makes |
13 |
sure everything is back as baseline. I have no problem with rebooting, |
14 |
just wouldn't recommend the worldwide recompile that leads to the need to |
15 |
do so - unless it is necessary, which is clearly is not in the case of |
16 |
the GCC 4.7 -> 4.8 switch. I run ~arch on my desktop, so most things will |
17 |
be recompiled in the next few weeks anyway. |

Not by much. Severs may stay up for a while but desktops tend to be |
33 |
rebooted quite often after kernel updates. |

As a fully paid up member of the Old Farts Club, I can appreciate that. |
