Perhaps the Debian changes haven't made it upstream because they aren't better, just different. I can't remember many Debian innovations, but some of their good ideas do make it into other distros. For example, RHEL uses alternatives, a Debian innovation. In addition, Fedora's new init system has replaced nash with dash. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Dracut -- "XML is like violence: if it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough of it." - Chris Maden -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
