I have used initng on debian for some time.
I used initng 0.6.7-1 for a long time, because
that was all I could get packaged for amd64 debian.
(There are newer packages, but only for i386 it seems.)

This version has various problems:
* fails to bring up wlan0, something "ifup wlan0" usually will do
* sometimes long delays waiting for udev, but I use initng to boot *faster*
* trouble with X crashing a couple of times during boot, but perhaps
   that is an X problem?
* loadkeys always fails. Not a initng problem though.
* After a handful of "ngc" commands, I get the dreaded "Error connecting
   to initng socket" and can't shutdown or do anything useful with ngc :-(

So I finally downloaded the source for initng 0.6.10.2, and compiled it.
I rebooted after "make install" and now ngc doesn't work at all.
"Error connecting to initng socket" at the first try - everytime.


Inability to reboot or bring up additional services makes initng useless
for me. Is there a known way out of this, or will I have to
look at other sysv init replacements?  I liked the quick parallel startup,
of initng, but I also need something that works.
