> Think about it. What does systemd offer you, the user? Well, I can't argue the first point. When I first saw that systemd was being implemented in Arch--my distribution at the time--I glanced over it and thought, wow, this is sure convoluted. However, I like the service files; they're a heck of a lot easier than the old fashioned init scripts. But things still are rather convoluted internally. If we could have the service file usage combined with the simplicity of the old sysv, that would be awesome. The way systemd handles processes seems a little neater, but they introduced a whole lot of new terminology that one has to become accustomed to in order to make full use of the mechanisms. So in that sense, they do indeed make things a little more complicated than they need to be. Unfortunately, it is also true that most distributions are moving to systemd, so I finally gave in to the inevitable and started learning about it. This led me to build it from the ground up, here. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
