[gobolinux-devel] Boot sequence enhancement

[Paul Gideon Dann]

If I remember correctly, Upstart is a drop-in Sysvinit replacement, with
an expanded set of features.  I remember reading that it's not at all
pretty to work with, because of the backward-compatibility.

If GoboLinux's BootScripts is not good enough, it may be worth
considering InitNG.  I remember being convinced that this was the way to
go, but can't remember what I read that made me decide that :)
