At least, with us, you generally only have to reboot to use the update.
You can stay on the prior one, in the meantime.  Unlike Windows, which
often has to reboot, you can't keep on using the computer, or other
things won't install until you reboot.

Thankfully, I find it's few things that do require a reboot, usually
only the kernel.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
