With a new latop I'm thinking of installing runit which is a sysvinit

I have a few sites from googling which cover how to install it (install 3 Debian
packages, adjust the grub bootloader menu and your set).
However has anyone here actually used it and converted from sysvinit to runit?

You might want to look in the SLUG archives for my comments at the

Thanks
Yes I see Erik tried it in May 2006 band wrote;

Well at least you could back out. I didn't see much on how to undo it.
I see there is also another new init scheme which I will need to look at also:

I'm just keen to have a faster booting system on a laptop.
