Debian Lenny & initng (Masuran.org)

[Posted August 27, 2007 by ris]

Here's a review of Debian Lenny, which uses initng for the init system. "Debian Lenny might be called the 'testing' version but I find it stable enough to be used every day as your main OS. The rough edges make it an excellent distribution for the real geek, the computer user that finds that other distributions are either to polished (Ubuntu, SuSe) or too rough (Gentoo, Slackware)."

Since when does Lenny use initng? The article specifically tells us that installing it is an additional step.

Yeah, I'd expected them to use upstart soon, ties with Ubuntu and all...

I feel a need to point out that initng is not part of Debian's lenny (testing), sid (unstable) or experimental distributions. It's not in the pipeline for Debian to be replacing init with initng.
