I don't loathe the idea of systemd; in fact I think it's an interesting and useful piece of work, which is why it's seeing adoption from multiple distributions (Arch, Fedora, OpenSUSE, possibly others). There have always been different init systems (System V, BSD, etc.) in use, and there's nothing to suggest the situation is about to change, hence I don't agree with the "monoculture" claims. It's true that the developers of systemd are keen to promote their work, but that's nothing new in software generally or free/open-source software specifically. Furthermore, I'm not suggesting to anyone that they should (or shouldn't) use systemd; that's an issue to consider, among others, in choosing a distribution. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
