/* gentle rant on Which is *exactly* my point. I have a friend of mine who's multi-user Linux system was recently up for thirty days before a power failure caused it to go down. I had a Digital Unix system on my desk up for an entire year without rebooting. We had cases of VAX/Ultrix systems up for over three years without a reboot. IMHO the only time you should have to cold reboot an operating system is when there is a change to a critical section of the kernel, or perhaps a hardware failure and with loadable kernel modules and loadable device drivers (to say nothing of user-mode device drivers), those sections and failures are relatively few. Sooo, while booting in one second is a neat "stunt", and nice for automotive needs, or deep space probes that have a master controlling module that turns another module on and off; for a phone I would rather have it function like a "real phone" for four (or even three or even two or even one) days without rebooting or having to be recharged. On the other hand, there is the source code....go to it. gentle rant off */ _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
