    Ubuntu does not have sysvinit-core as a package for 14.04. :/

    Ubuntu does not have sysvinit-core as a package for 14.04. :/

    That's probably because Canonical had been pushing upstart aggressively in the same way. Now that Ubuntu decided to switch to systemd too, following Debian's default decision, upstart's basically dead-man-walking. (Though upstart still seems to be default for Ubuntu right now)

    I wonder if they'll eventually pick up the sysvinit stuff from Debian again? If not, there's still other init alternatives floating around.
