Dubious quotation time: 'Learning Ubuntu teaches you Ubuntu, but learning Slackware teaches you Linux'

It was my first Linux OS desktop and I lived with it for about a year. It's not impossible for a non-initiate to just dive in, if he is not afraid of the command line.

Does Slackware have init.d yet?

It does not use it for its own scripts, but it does support it for third party programs that use it ;)

The relevant logic is in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysvinit .

Heh, Slackware will get init.d just as Ubuntu stops using it!
