/run has been in Debian unstable for quite a while now actually, at least 3-4 months. /var/run is just a symlink. I think this is related to the systemd stuff.

/run has been in Debian unstable for quite a while now actually, at least 3-4 months. /var/run is just a symlink. I think this is related to the systemd stuff.
Personally, the first thing I do when I install a Linux is write a simple /etc/rc script which mounts filesystems and launches daemons. No /etc/init.d/* start stop stuff, no /run. The result is almost always simpler and faster. My thinkpad takes 3 seconds from bootloader to X11.
- dfc 15y agoI have never understood the fixation on boot time.
- Legion 15y agoIt's easily measurable.
- vacri 15y agoIt made a lot more sense before hibernation and sleep matured and stabilised.
- saljam 15y agoSimplicity was my main point. The fact that it was faster just followed. As a matter of fact I haven't rebooted this machine in about 3 weeks.
- dfc 15y agoHow do you handle dependencies? One of the slickest things about debian boot/init is resolvconf populating dnscache's list of dns servers with the dhcp reply. I love that. I'd wait a minute extra just for that.
