Kevin, It is obvious that you do not like systemd. That is fine, but keep your prejudiced opinion out of it. If you do not like the way the book is written (YES I HAVE EDITED THE FIRST EVER SYSTEMD VERSION.), then YOU create your OWSN fork and see if anyone is interested in doing it YOUR way. Until then stop trying to force your uneducated opinions down others throats. I do not care if this offends the poster or others. I will NOT when I have spent many hours working on a copy of the book have assholes like this post their worthless useless comments.
