Hello all. As I've mentioned once or twice in the past, I'm currently running Ubuntu 14.04, which is not the latest release but is a "long-term support" release. It is/was systemd-free, which is the main reason why I've been running it. Previously, I was using Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE), which as the name implies, is based on Debian. However, an "upgrade" resulted in LMDE becoming systemd-infected, which is why I switched to Ubuntu.
Well, guess what? This morning I click on the "software update" icon, and I see Ubuntu downloading first udev, followed by systemd-daemon. I quickly stopped the download before the virus could install. I rebooted, and checked, and I'm OK - no systemd installed. So I was saved at the last second. However, this sneaky "systemd by stealth" technique is now in Ubuntu, as it was in Debian Testing. It's getting harder and harder to avoid systemd. So no more "updates" for me. I'm at the end of the line for Ubuntu. Devuan cannot come soon enough! cheers, Robert
