didn't know you took it that way. I was just reflecting my own
experience on the thread in order to illuminate things. There's no lack
of bad advice on the matter, even the redhat.com site awhile back
advised installing an rpm and then rebooting, when all that had to be
done was to restart the service in question. As you might have gathered,
unnecessary reboots are a pet peeve of mine.

But in the end, your system is your system, you can reboot it every hour
if that's what you like.
