In the spirit of correctness, I should mention that you don't disable the journal; you can configure it so it doesn't stores its binary logs, but it's still running. And you always can run other legacy logger alongside the journal, and have both things; binary logs for fast retrieval, and text logs if you so desire. > And just like journald many (if not most or even all, I'm still > at the surface of systemd configuration) of the new and ugly tools can > be replaced by the good old tools we like and love. > > Out of experience I can now say that many of the point said against > systemd a just not true.
