Abstract: Ksplice allows you to update the kernel on your Linux machine without rebooting. Ksplice can apply 88% of the Linux kernel security patches from May 2005 to May 2008 without a programmer writing any new code, and it can apply all of the security patches from that interval if a programmer writes a small amount of new code. This talk will explain how Ksplice works.
