I, personally, recognize a certain ironic connection, particularly in relation to Poettering. I'll leave it to the list readers who care, to understand or misunderstand what I mean. (Not sure discussing it belongs here, but I can understand why Ralf might want to bring it up.) I don't know what brings Tom H here, but I am becoming more active here precisely because of systemd. Well, that, and SELinux. Too many changes too fast, too many of them shifting from stable techniques known to work in *nix environments to experimental implementations of techniques that are known to be primary underlying factors of many of the technical issues in the monoculture/world-domination OS. I don't, for example, dare try Fedora as an alternative to the ancient Mac OS X on the ancient but still viable iBook that my sister uses to keep in touch with the family. I have absolutely no confidence that I would be able to do the remote administration she needs done every now and then. (Fedora 13 or 14 would still have worked, fwiw.) There are both technical and political issues here that go way beyond the scope of this thread in debian-user, beyond a simple word to the wise: Be very, very careful with systemd. -- Joel Rees -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
