NetBSD Summer of Code Summary

UltimaGuy writes "The NetBSD Project is pleased to announce the results of its participation in Google's "Summer of Code". After Google announced this program to introduce students to the world of open source software development at the beginning of June, the NetBSD Project was happy to join the approximately 40 other open source groups as a mentoring organization and compiled a list of suggested projects. I personally think the Project tmpfs: Efficient memory file-system as the most successful one."

And frankly, i never use the different runlevels like you're supposed to anyways.

I don't think anyone else does either. It's far more complex than the "problem" it was trying to solve. Somewhere deep within the bowels of Sun is a sysadmin who truly uses the SysV init system, but everyone else can get by with a far simpler system... like rc.d.
