Ah gotcha. Yeah, for personal desktop stuff I prefer rolling but...I treat my OS as its own little hobby. God I'm such a nerd lol.

My servers and anything with open ports live on something less bleeding edge, though.

What's the init system? I could easily google this stuff, tell me to rtfm if you like. Just making conversation.

Hehe, I used to be more involved than I am these days. Compiled my own
kernel and a lot of (probably un-necessary) configuring.

Makes sense.

It's what (used to be) called BSD-style. The Distrowatch page says it's
SysV, but it's not, really. It *can* be, but isn't normally. It's all
done in /etc/rc.d, by simply enabling (making executable) the various
scripts in there, or not enabling them. Very simple, really.

.... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.

I remember well. More and more things are nudging me in the direction of
the BSDs. :)

That's something (trying a BSD) that I've meant to do for YEARS, but
just have never gotten around to it. Maybe in 2023. ;-)

Slackware uses a sysinit hacked together to emulate bsdinit. It feels a lot
like running bsdinit, to the point a lot of people says it uses a bsd based
init.
