Once upon a time, not so long ago, Dale happened to try and make an |
10 |
initrd. He followed the rules and the docs and it blew up in his face. |
11 |
It blew up more in his face than HAL did even longer ago (and that was |
12 |
pretty spectacular). |

Somewhere in that thread the words "init thingy" were used in |
15 |
frustration, and it's since become a meme, a disparaging reference to |
16 |
initrd for those who don't like the idea of them. |

Dale is getting famous at this, if ever we need someone to find the |
19 |
really bad bugs in basic software, just mark it stable enough so that |
20 |
Dale will use it. He will find the bugs that no-one else ever could, |
21 |
it's just a knack he has. |

Long live Dale. |
