I have absolutely no idea why I'm subscribed and post to d-u! ;) If you have genuine technical reasons for being wary of systemd, fine! If you have an emotional negative reaction to Lennart Poettering, then your "carefulness" is silly. The reiserfs developer's a convicted murderer, that didn't make reiserfs technically inferior overnight. (Please note that I've never used reiserfs, so I don't care either way.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
