I honestly didn't have a position in the systemd debate. I've always run stable, and apart from the odd patch here and there it's been stable. For the fist time ever I've been hit with massive breakage across an update. Non-booting system because of race condition in drive mounting. Not correctly assembled lvm-raid volumes, Syslog-ng udp remote logging broken. Network manager eth0 auto-dhcp broken. I haven't tracked it down yet but I also have sound problems on my desktop that only appear when systemd is around, and some client's servers that can't correctly set their tape drive's block sizes anymore. systemd is a lot more all encompassing than init, or any of it's replacements are, and it's the only package that has caused me any headache. I'd love to see the debate reopened, I certainly wouldn't set it as default or mark it stable. zmc -- Ensis Technologies www.ensistech.com 1-888-373-9056 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
