This week I decided that Louise shouldn’t have a monopoly (mono/poly, that’s interesting) on this studying lark, so Wednesday will become my Study Night. However, my concentration is wandering after about 45 minutes with the big C# book, so I bring you this post…
I’m a bit of a sucker for keeping up with the latest developments in free software land and my current crush is Ubuntu, not least because it’s the Linux distrubution running on our home PC. Now I’ve really got to take my hat off to them — they’re replacing init. For those of you still playing along at home, this is a part of Unix-like operating systems that’s been more or less unchanged for 30 years.
Mark and I speculated about this a couple of years ago and came up with a few ideas about how we’d tackle a replacement for init. I have to say, though, what Scott James Remnant has come up with is something far superior.
Now this kind of thing I find really interesting, exciting even. It’s quite likely you won’t. Apologies. Move along, please.
