I have to chuck another one on there for slack. I've just renovated my desktop with dropline and I've gotta say this is the best desktop linux setup I've ever used.
I have done a lot of updates with out a reboot. That includes ALL of KDE. Logout, log in. Done. Try that winders.
or maybe even more impressive....
Remove one OpenGL library (MesaGL)
remove one driver (NV)
compile a new Graphics Driver (Nvidia)
Compile a new OpenGL library (Nvidia)
all without a reboot.

Well, I have recompiled the entire system, equivalent of a re-install, no reboot on that one either. That would include all those video driver stuff.

Gentoo.
Me not smoke or drink. I saw your distro was Gentoo though. It's winders that wants you to reboot after every little thing you do. I'm suprised that when you go visit a webpage that IT doesn't require a reboot too. God forebed you open a couple tabs in in Mozilla in winders.
