Ksplice Boots the Reboot (Linux Journal)

(A. I use Yahoo nad not Google, and B. I disable JS from untrusted sites)

Looking at their FAQ file I'm quite confused:

> Q: Will Ksplice Uptrack work in my company’s
> virtualized infrastructure?
>
> A: Yes! Ksplice works perfectly in VMware, Xen,
> Virtuozzo or any other virtualized environment.
> It works on both virtual machine hosts and
> guests, keeping your entire infrastructure secure.

They support Virtuozzo guests? Amazing!

> Q: Do I have to prepare my system specially to
> use Ksplice Uptrack?
>
> A: Not at all. Ksplice is fully compatible with the
> kernels provided by your Linux distribution, and
> with any custom kernels you or your company may
> have made. Even the initial installation process
> is completely rebootless, so Ksplice Uptrack fits
> into your infrastructure with zero disruption.

> Q: Which Ubuntu kernel flavors does Ksplice Uptrack support?
>
> A: Currently, we are only supporting the generic kernel.
> However, we will add support for the server and
> virtual kernels before the end of June.

Slight contradiction? Or just my lousy English?

But I'll give you the answer here, as well. Don't be rude and tell people to just Google stuff. Questions such as tzafrir's can often spark interesting discussion, right here on LWN.net, which goes beyond a simple answer to the question. If you don't care to answer, then don't. Let someone else answer, elaborate, speculate what may be possible in the future, question the value... whatever. Asking why one didn't "Google" adds no value to the conversion. Only noise. Arrogant, elitist noise.

Sorry for the off-topic post. And this will be my one and only post in this thread on the subject. Hopefully, it will contribute to improving the SN ratio overall.
