Hy there - I'm Rebeka
 

Hy, my name is Rebeka.

I'm 31 years old and new in this forum, but not so very new to Gnu-Linux.
About 4 month's ago I became interested in getting deeper into the linux system itself - so not just using applications, I decided to learn as much sys-internas as I can :)
I started with Arch Linux and since a few days I'v got Slackware in dualboot with Arch.
My main reason for Slackware was the fact, that Slackware is the most UNIX-like
Linux distribution and that Slackware does deliver systemd by default. I got very interested in sysVinit, because when I started learning on Arch systemd has already been the standard in very much distros and there are heavy discussions about the initsystems so I decided to discover the older one as well. I've got a little oppinion about systemd and sysVinit but I've just started learning and I don't wanna discuss this topic in forum, because in forum-threads especially about this topic heavy "wars" can occur suddenly and I don't want that :D

I also installed FreeBSD on a virtual machine, but just very rarely I start it, because actually I've got some things to manage under Slackware.
My iptables is running and starting at boot time as well, also the ntpd works well, but some other stuff I'll gonna have to do next time - so just step by step workin' and try not to open too much todo's the same time so my BSD has to wait now until ... somewhen :D

Ok that's it :-)

I wish you all a nice day. Greets,


Beka

Welcome
 

Good start. Thre is a lot to learn, but there is a LOT of help! Glad to see you here.

Grüße nach Berlin aus Hamburg.

Will you marry me? I have many laptops.

First time I see someone starting with linux the hard way (that is, with Arch and Slackware) :).

I'm not a Slackware user, so don't take my word for it, but it is my understanding that Slackware comes with sysVinit by default, so I guess you wanted to say sysVinit above and had a slip of the tongue. (Or should I say, "a slip of the fingers"? ;)). Of course, I might be wrong.

Welcome to LQ, and I hope you enjoy it here!

Just as an aside, Slackware uses BSD style init scripts. http://www.slackware.com/config/init.php

This link tells me that BSD's Sysv is slightly different from conventional Linux Sysv. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hint...s/bsd-init.txt

Also, welcome Rebeka. I started with Slackware and have never regretted it.

Welcome to LQ.

Just so you know, there are many init systems floating around, not just systemV and systemd. Just search the net and you'll find lots of possibilities. With Linux you have all the power and choice, so there is no reason to be locked in to a certain system, you just need the knowledge to switch to a different one.

I'll have to say welcome to LQ. Yes, some topics do get a lot of replies and even some hard feelings.

Carl LaRocca, I thought your reply was funny until I considered her point of view. She may or may not think it funny.

BSD is Unix. (another topic that can generate a lot of replies)
