Overall I too would like to update my system to the newest, by simply doing an apt-get dist-upgrade (or something similar). But I see that the work involved in coding that simply isn't worth it. Especially, because you would still need to reboot anyway.-Of course, if you could get things to update without rebooting you would have a serious argument against every other distro and of course winxxxx. But imho that should be impossible (Changing the kernel in a running system that is.) -Thomas-
