Yeah, Arch Linux and Slackware both use BSD style init rather than SysV style init. I like the simplicity too. The boot sequence in Arch Linux can be extremely fast because you can background things that don't have dependencies. I still have a copy of Arch on my drive, I do like it but - in a similar vein to the postings regarding Gentoo lately - I got a little sick of keeping it up to date and tweaking it. Arch is brilliant if you like being on the bleeding edge though. hads -- http://nicegear.co.nz New Zealand's VoIP supplier
