Here it is: "Now for someone who has to reboot a lot, sounds windowish doesn't it, then by all means convert to systemd or whatever suites your fancy. As always, what works for one doesn't suite the needs of another. That's why we use Gentoo. We get to use what suites us. " It sounds like systemd would benefit you since you have to reboot a lot. Thing is, lots of people don't reboot that often. Given you have a laptop, you likely reboot quite often and even a faster boot up would be nice so maybe you should give it a try. After all, when you are running off of a battery, every bit counts. I have seen quite a few posts where people have switched to it. It seems it has a bit of a curve to getting it working but once working, it works. Me, if I was going to switch, I'd use a second install or copy my current install to another partition, just in case I can't get around that curve. ;-) My point was that I don't see any reason to switch myself. While sort of agreeing with pk, I do see what some would want to switch and I have no problem with someone posting a success story. I have done so myself when I went to LVM. I'm sure there are others but that is one I remember pretty well. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
