  1. Sad as it is, I'm happy with a nice, vanilla XFCE 4.12 Linux distro with a 4.x kernel.

  2. Re:Does it ignore nonzero exit statuses, syslog... on Ask Slashdot: Feature Requests For Epoch Init System 1.3.0? · · Score: 1

    I meant the Epoch Init System. It handles exit codes properly. I am the guy who wrote it.

  3. Re:Does it ignore nonzero exit statuses, syslog... on Ask Slashdot: Feature Requests For Epoch Init System 1.3.0? · · Score: 2

    No it doesn't. If it returns nonzero, that's pretty much going to show as a failure and will be logged as such.

  4. Re:What does it do with stderr? on Ask Slashdot: Feature Requests For Epoch Init System 1.3.0? · · Score: 1

    Epoch doesn't touch your stderr. Your apps are free to print to the console. A log of overall service start/failures is in /var/log/system.log

  5. Re:*BSD on Ask Slashdot: Feature Requests For Epoch Init System 1.3.0? · · Score: 1

    /proc mostly. That's how Epoch does process supervision.

  6. Re:What problem is this solving? on Ask Slashdot: Feature Requests For Epoch Init System 1.3.0? · · Score: 2

    Epoch for one, doesn't require another init system like sysv to run on top of. It's also got fantastic service supervision, which OpenRC does not have. And it's easy to set up too.

  7. Re:How fast or slow is it? on Ask Slashdot: Feature Requests For Epoch Init System 1.3.0? · · Score: 2

    For my own system, it boots in around 15 seconds to SliM login manager, which then takes me to XFCE 4.12.

  8. Re:Dependencies on Ask Slashdot: Feature Requests For Epoch Init System 1.3.0? · · Score: 2

    The number system allows for priorities to have the same number, so you can group things in this way. Also, the DefinePriority attribute allows you to name priorities.

  9. Re:Portability with non-commercialised *nixes on Ask Slashdot: Feature Requests For Epoch Init System 1.3.0? · · Score: 2, Informative

    It'll already run on anything with a Linux kernel.

  10. Re:Incorporate other stuff on Ask Slashdot: Feature Requests For Epoch Init System 1.3.0? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think I'll just add a web browser.

    You slam him, yet neglect to mention you'd be there with him asking him to pass the bag of Cheetos. Hell, I'd probably be there too. If you think you have no ego, you have a very big ego.

    The idea of tablets taking over the world is a terrifying proposition to me, and it's given me numerous "I don't want to live on this planet anymore" moments. The cloud is pure evil, tablets are not good for serious work (remember multitasking? A CLI you could use if you wanted? A decent CPU? Freedom to use a different OS outside an emulator or VM?) and they cater to people who have no serious uses for their devices. People who want music and facebook and videos and maybe some cheap 2D games. PCs are for people who want power, freedom, and productivity. If the world was more intelligent, tablets would have been DOA. I still miss netbooks. I am on one now. I love it. It's served me since '09. The death of netbooks was mourned bitterly by me.
