Thank you. Big help. My problem currently with a lot of Linux distributions is they seem to be moving away from the "Unixy" sort of environment. I was particularly dissatisfied with the new Debian Etch, as it comes with a bunch of crap enabled (AppleTalk? Who uses that!), as well as a heavily modified version of init that no longer conforms to the SysV standards. The same is true for Fedora, and Slackware. I would put together my own Distro, but lack the time.
Welcome to the community David. I should warn you that Solaris is moving away from Sys V init as well in the long term to a better system known as SMF This new technology is part of Solaris' self-healing technology. Find out more about it here: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/selfheal/ http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/selfheal/smf-quickstart.html You may also find the SMF manifest repository here to be rather helpful in developing your own: http://www.blastwave.org/smf/manifests.php -- "Less is only more where more is no good." --Frank Lloyd Wright Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
