Ubuntu Linux was the first distribution Linux, does not require reboot after installing the update Linux kernel.

Ksplice Company today announced the launch of the new free service Ksplice Uptrack for users of Ubuntu Linux, supports the installation of critical updates Linux kernel in Ubuntu 9.04 distribution without the need to temporarily stop and restart the system.

After installing a special package (the kernel module and an interface for management) to install updates to fix security problems for the basic 32 - and 64-bit builds Linux kernel will be made "on the fly." The method of obtaining updates does not change - they are still loaded from the standard repositories of Ubuntu, and then translated into a representation suitable for use in Ksplice. Currently, the technology supports the updated three basic assemblies of the kernel: for desktop systems, servers and virtual environments.

Ksplice is universal and does not require any modification of the running Linux kernel requires only two load a kernel module to make pre-and post-change, and a special way draw a diff file, which will be projected onto the running kernel. Nevertheless, Ksplice can not be used when the changes affect the structure of data, but the vast majority of bug fixes, security did not make such modifications. In assessing the vulnerabilities fixed in May 2005 to December 2007, 87% of all patches were suitable for patch without stopping work.
