The kernel _IS_ the OS. Change that, and you're changing the OS, and obviously
to use a new/different OS, you have to reboot. RedHat is not the OS that you
use. Linux is the OS that you use. RedHat is just one of many distrobutions of
linux. Linux is the OS. What makes linux different from windows or bsd is it's
kernel, not the GUIs or the commonly used programs like grep, sed, awk, etc.
