Well, there are quite a number of replacements for SysV init, but it's still the standard. For some reason Linux' today still come with init and as I guess, not without a reason. I for one would very much like to see Debian being able to support multiple instances for a service by default, not just after a lot of configuration and extra packages installed. Most people just need a second Apache instance, why bother installing some fancy service-management if it is not needed at all? I tend to follow the K.I.S.S. principle, an other service is an other point of failure. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
