Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 releasedDebian GNU/Linux 4.0 releasedPosted Apr 9, 2007 23:21 UTC (Mon) by ssavitzky (subscriber, #2855)Parent article: Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 released
Most of my machines both at home and at work have been running Etch for a long time now, though I upgraded my main home server from Sarge only about a month ago. The only reason I'm waiting to upgrade my firewall is that it currently has 332 days of uptime and it seems a shame not to give it a solid year.
Debian rocks!

Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 released Posted Apr 10, 2007 20:18 UTC (Tue) by josh (guest, #17465) [Link] No need to reboot it, unless you need to upgrade the kernel. (You probably can't run udev unless you do, but that matters less on a router than on an end-user box.)
Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 released Posted Apr 12, 2007 4:26 UTC (Thu) by ssavitzky (subscriber, #2855) [Link] Doing the dist-upgrade from sarge to etch installs udev and replaces your kernel. Basically, you *have* to reboot at some point. It will, of course, let you continue running with no installable modules that match your kernel, and you might get away with it for a while. But it's pretty iffy. I don't want to destabilize my router, and there's no good reason to at this point.
