To further resonate that. Just like with kernel, every vendor make their own longterm maintenance thing of systemd. Look at Centos vs Debian kernel, they are widely different, even if released from same series or at the same time. Ditto systemd, integration done in Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Fedora are all different as well. To me this all looks like comparing kettle and pots. With calling systemd black in comparison to the kernel. -- Regards, Dimitri. 100 sleeps till Christmas https://clearlinux.org Open Source Technology Center Intel Corporation (UK) Ltd. - Co.
