I'm in full agreement here. Period. I've always been a little blown
away with Stuart's rantings and feel a little honored to be one of the
many he's raked across the coals due to ignorance; self imposed or
otherwise. I am a little surprised, but, also quite excited to have
someone with the passion for *nix that Stuart has, touting the benefits
of systemd and pointing out it's potential.
I honestly can't understand why everyone is in such an uproar
against it.. While this doesn't mean I'll be switching to Fedora, (Arch
Linux for LIFE!!) I think I'll at least be dropping the 'k' I've
inserted with regard to Fedora's name when referring to it.
In conclusion, I'd like to take this time to also mention how
awesome it is to have a good old PLUG style discussion again!! If
systemd is what it takes to reunite this list's passion, so be it!!
