How does Ubuntu’s Upstart system initialization compare with runit?
This week’s TechMail is How does Ubuntu’s Upstart system initialization compare with runit? which looks at the upstart system vs runit. I *really* like runit; so much in fact that with Annvix I rewrote the entire init system to take as much advantage of runit as possible and as a result ended up with extremely fast boot-times (of course, the rewrite helped and I was able to remove a bunch of stuff that I didn’t need). Anyways, this is a comparison and while upstart sounds promising for the future, I can honestly say that I would take runit over it (as it is now) anyday.

Note: It is not Fedora Core 10 but Fedora 10. Core and Extras repos got merged way back in Fedora 7 release. We only have a single repos + updates now

Thanks, Rahul… I’m aware of that (now) but when I wrote those things in early January I wasn’t aware there was a distinction (having written that particular tip about two days after I downloaded and installed F10, which was the first time I had actually used Fedora since about FC4)
Unfortunately I can’t go back and fix that.
