Personally I don't like systemd and have /my/ good reasons to avoid it, but hey, Lennart is writing free software after all, so I'm thankful for that. /And/ when you're critizicing things, do make an effort to get facts right. And try to be fair in your critique: there's often a human being at the other end. Otherwise we end up being Facebook or 4chan. Now getting off my soapbox. Next, please :-) Cheers -- tomás
