NYCBUG tonight: BSD init(8) and rc(8)

Mar 02, 2016 ~ Written by justin sherrill
I almost missed this: There’s a NYCBUG meeting tonight, at 6:45 PM, at the Stone Creek Bar and Lounge in New York City.  The presentation will be from Raul Cuza, titled “BSD init(8) and rc(8): Room for Improvement?“.  I imagine there will be an opportunity to complain about systemd’s very existence, at this meeting.

If you are on that list, send me your mailing address. The shirts are marked L/XL/XX [...]
