That's no help if 3/4 of your applications plus key functions such as dbus require systemd or worse yet have been absorbed into it and then changed in incompatible ways. I don't object to replacing sysvinit with something more modern (though sysvinit does everything I need). I do have concerns about the scope of the systemd project. The goal seems to be a single do-all daemon. That may be desireable in the long run (though I doubt it) but it looks to me as if they are getting too ambitious too soon. Better to just replace sysvinit, get it working and fully debugged, and then look for new worlds to conquer. This is just a random opinion of a user, of course. I do not labor under the delusion that anyone is going to listen to me. -- John Hasler jhas...@newsguy.com Elmwood, WI USA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
