Except that you're not exactly asking questions, now are you? You asked Neil one, but only after a longer to and fro. If you *had* actually started out asking questions, as opposed to spouting hearsay and then even literally saying that you couldn't be bothered to research systemd yourself, my response would have been drastically different. Remember that everybody is here on their own time, and not everybody wants to spend it responding to questions that can easily be answered by reading documentation. I'm already wasting oodles of time writing this as is. If you *really* are interested, there is a longer thread on gentoo-amd64 where I wrote about my experience switching to systemd [0] (keep in mind, however, that a bunch of it is outdated by now, such as how I manage networking and backups). It could be interesting especially since it's mostly about actually solving problems. I could list specific features of systemd that I like and make use of (such as socket activation, autofs integration, user units, nspawn, or the journal), but thinking about it, it's a "more than the sum of its parts" kind of deal. Managing a system with systemd is just overall pleasant for me. [ And I never again have to deal with the state of a service being misreported by OpenRC because a daemons PID file has the wrong PID in it, or with stopping a service not actually stopping it, both of which I had experienced multiple times. ] [0] https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-amd64/message/ 58c67218a203b84318d52a39c3c67f73 Greetings -- Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup --nextPart5564198.5JFnnYdJze Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
