I don't think Ubuntu made things easy with these changes. Indeed they are in a transition phase in 12.04 lts where they have both upstart, and a bastardised sysvinit, so at least twice as complicated, whilst Debian flirts with systemd which is better and with added backward compatibility, but means Ubuntu is drifting away creating extra maintenance headache for themselves. Presumably the rationale was to make things boot faster and more robustly. However I suspect faster could be achieved by simpler changes (sysvinit scripts were pretty awful if performance was your goal last time I looked, I doubt they were optimised much since I looked) and I'm not sure robustness has improved noticeably. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
