Ubuntu 11.10, Introduce new top-level directory /run

It's an interesting run-down of the new Debian and Fedora feature (and a very good change IMO), but the title is misleading - what does the linked article have to do with Ubuntu, 11.10 or otherwise?

Linkbait title. There a new ubuntu release out, and people expect ubuntu to make some radical change that will be controversial.

The submitter is trying to stir things up.

It kills me that these people "expect ubuntu" and are oblivious to debian...

Because it shipped in Ubuntu 11.10. (And, there was a bug that didn't fully transition some systems over that would cause a crash on boot).

Do you think you could you link to that bug? I just upgraded to 11.10, I don't have a /run directory, and I did have some boot problems that I worked around. (A google search didn't turn anything up.)

Edit: My mistake, after rebooting, this folder popped right up :)

Then why is the link to the description of the Debian feature rather than to Ubuntu's documentation of it?

Because when Debian does work, Ubuntu gets credit. Consistently.

The problem is that certain people (no comment) do not realize the value of debian and the same people's fanboyism for Ubuntu leads them to be Ubuntu is the greatest thing in the world.
