We installed a RHEL4 system before all the updates that are currently 
available and have never patched any of the software. This machine has been 
in production ever since. We finally decided to let it update almost 1000 
packages and it did them all, without rebooting and never skipped a beat! 
We should have rebooted for the kernel, but we're running a custom kernel 
anyway, so there was no point in it.

I love linux...
