[Cialug] Ubuntu's New Init

[Bryan Baker]

I wonder if some of these projects are using some of launchd since I  
know they open sourced it.
The thing about this needing to have been done a long time ago is  
that the "Un*x way" is to have lots of little pieces doing discrete  
jobs, and I believe what was there grew out of that sort of mindset.  
I do believe that this is a step forward though, sometimes  
consolidation is good.
