Too bad, laughing seems to impair the rest of your higher functions.

this was a nice thread, but you had to post some systemd propaganda. If
you insist on acting like a spoilt little brat, I treat you like one.
I have an UEFI system and my nice little asus board takes longer to go
to grub, than it takes the kernel to go to init, and circa as long as
init needs to go to kdm. So.. whatever you post, I regard as worthless
blubbering of a systemd fanboi who can't hold back and has to infest
every place he goes.
If you would at least posting something useful. Nope. You don't.
