Yuck. The point of the hardware is that people have regular remote access  
to
a range of computing environments.   Forcing physical reboots to switch  
OS's would be
a major pain and inconvenience.  Also, say I want to set up a script to  
automatically
test the SAGE build and doctests on redhat, suse, and ubuntu -- this is  
impossible
if rebooting into each OS is required, but very reasonable if it isn't.
