http://blogs.zdnet.com/open-source/?p=2333According to a technical paper released by Ksplice developer and MIT graduate student Jeffrey Brian Arnold, Ksplice was tested against Linux security patches from May of 2005 to December of 2007 and automatically (and successfully) patched 84 percent of 50 “significant kernel vulnerabilities” in that timeframe. Ksplice can handle many security updates but not changes to data structures, the report notes.
That is pretty cool, i can imagine some uptimes in decades instead of years now..
