runit

[Matt Price <matt.price@utoronto.ca>]

hi folks,

I usually use apt-get to install packages (sid), but went to aptitude
today to try to get kde to install properly (been having some
difficultieswith that).  Ended up instlaling quite a numbero f
packages, and I missed a couple in the list, including runit -- which
aptitude is in the middle of installing RIGHT NOW on my 'puter.
Anyway, the debconf notice seems a little scary:  


This package diverts sysvinit's /sbin/init binary.  Use

 # /sbin/init.sysv 6

to reboot the system with runit as process no 1 after installing this
package.
---------
do I have to be worried?  are there big [dis]advantages to having this
program installed?  just wondering!

thx,

matt
