systemd waisted 5 hours of my work time today

This morning my work laptop would not boot. I could not even get to single user mode initially and when I got as far as that I could not type anything on the terminal. I suspect some upgrade yesterday caused it. In the end I had to search for a windows user who could write me a debian-live cd.

no display manager for 3 days

Ever since a dist-upgrade that installed systemd and removed sysvinit-core, I have been unable to get a display manager. I have tried slim, lightdm, and even installed gdm3. Nothing works. # /etc/init.d/slim/start gives no error messages, but # systemctl status slim.service tells me that slim

inserting kernel modules on startup

After the latest round of upgrades in Jessie, I rebooted. That's when the problems started. I'm having problems getting the 3.14 kernel to boot, so I'm booting from 3.13. However, that's not the big issue. The really annoying problem is that I have to boot to the command prompt, insmod radeon,

New 64bit Installation. Root partition too small--what to do?

Yes, indeed. I previously complained about its partitioning with little capability to revise it! (I did not use LVM because it put everything in one big physical partition which I also did not like.) So, want to install a more recent kernel? No room. While I was able to bind /opt and /usr/local
