strange argumentation
it does not matter WHY someone reboots a machine
nor is not reboot a solution for any problem
rebooting a remote-machine after updates which is not
important enough to set up remote KVM as example is
not funny if you have to wait a long time without feedback
My point here is taken out of out of its context: it was not rebooting
I was concerned about, but that the world is not going to end in a
minute and a half. Included in my concern were many things: one was to
get someone with more knowledge than I to help this gentleman - I have
stated before that I am a political scientist, not a real one (sorry
if I offend any other political scientists here, that is not my
purpose); another concern is that when I used MS stuff, I was
concerned and fearful about a longer wait periods because of their
crashing occurrences, and in Linux waiting is no big deal because
Linux does what it is supposed to do versus MS Windows which teaches
an individual to freak out when the computer does something like that
in question; another concern is that I am, and cannot un-become
over-night, nor would I want to, a qigong master who doesn't worry
about time - and this is why mine is, as Harald says, a "strange
argument"; everything the qigong practitioner is, is strange to those
who don't practice.
Best regards,
I too would be concerned with a long shut-down time.....only because, as
stated before when using Windows the longer an application or computer
takes to shut down could mean all KINDS of things are taking place that
are unknown to the user. From viruses and trojan files being
installed......to the hard drive being deleted a byte at a time. If
there's one thing I've learned to do with Linux it's that every two
weeks I run BleachBit and this seems to keep my system pretty fast.
Shutdowns and startups are quick, and free of glitches. I'm running
Fedora 16 on a 32 bit 3GM memory laptop and for what I need it to
do....it's pretty fast. I'm in the process of upgrading my hardware to
64-bit, and I'm wondering just how much more of an increase in speed
that will give my system, when I go to Fedora 17.....and this is in
addition to making sure my Firewall is on and working!
