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.
