  1. It is that simple and has been done. That's what kexec is.

  2. The 32-bit VMM (and loadable VxDs) are the real kernel of 9x and rebooting through DOS fully restarts those, so it's much more like kexec. The ability to restart the 16-bit window system while keeping all the VxDs running would be the real equivalence.

  3. That uses logind and polkit. But that's not what the video is about, have you watched it?

  4. I just put mine to sleep.

  5. The big problem with servers is that they take forever to POST but kexec takes care of that.

  6.  @CyroTheSpider  15-20 seconds in EFI is basically nothing if you've ever seen a real server boot?

  7. One problem with long spelled-out options is that many will start with the same letters, meaning you need to type more before you can tab-complete. Also it fills up your entire screen instead of having a whole command able to stay on a single line. Fortunately there's a compromise which has been around for a long time: have long options like --ignore-case as well as an equivalent short option like -i.
