Hi Hugo, initscripts - Scripts for initializing and shutting down the system is the original. there are a few attempts to improve the init script: upstart-compat-sysv - compatibility for System-V-like init runit-services - a UNIX init scheme with service supervision (services) insserv - Reorder boot sequence based on LSB init.d script dependencies if memory serves me right. The major idea for inserv IIRC is to parallelize the script. The requiremnt is to add LSB 'comments' that state dependencies. The comments are needed for LSB compliance anyway which Debian wants. An Ubuntu Dev is making upstart, this is a new idea that uses 'events' to trigger services. Someone has made packages for Debian. Its supposed to be used for all future version of Ubuntu, if all RC bugs can be sqashed.
