I am guilty as charged but haven't yet found the relevant information
as to how systemd helps solve this issue.
Systemd is praised to the rooftops by some and cursed
just as vehemently by others and it is what we are now using but
it feels mostly like unix has always felt.
I am obviously suffering from the worst sort of ignorance
syndrome which can really bite in that sometimes, we have an idea
what we don't know and other times, we don't even know that we
don't know and that's really frightening.
So, I need to read more general information about the
differences between systemd and what we've been using up to
recently.
