systemd may seem better in /most/ cases because it does have some nice features, but I don't think it's better in *all* cases. systemd doesn't allow shutdown/reboot from within KDE4, which in the end made it more annoying than helpful for me so I ended up switching back to file-rc. > Let's welcome OpenRC and see how it goes...

If and when there are Debian packages available for OpenRC I'd like to try it. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us GPG Key: 4096R/0x1E759A726A9FDD74
