Hence it will not fail, right? Adding another point of failure is my |
| 13 |
problem with this. As I have said before, when I was using Mandriva, |
| 14 |
then Mandrake, the init thingy would fail on a regular basis. It is one |
| 15 |
reason I left Mandriva. I got tired of the breakage and Gentoo didn't |
| 16 |
need one. So, here I am, good or bad. ;-) |
