They are for me. In the rare instance of a hardware or boot failure, I like to be able to watch the process happen, and to be able to have a working console to login to. Anything that requires bootsplash and upstart potentially interferes with that. I don't care if my server looks pretty when it's booting. I do care that I can see at what point in the boot process a catastrophic failure has occurred. Using a car analogy, I can say that I can't remember the last time my seat belt has restrained me in a head on collision, but it doesn't mean that I want to eliminate it from the design. :) -Lou -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
