Good for you. I really don't see the point in preaching systemd's
greatness (or Lennart's). I'm not going to try it anyway.

:)  systemd is coming whether you or I like it or not so I'm trying to stay a 
bit ahead of the tsunami, that's all.

The emotions started running high when Lennart pushed pulseaudio on us awhile 
ago, and he's doing it again now with systemd.  I didn't see the purpose for 
pulse until I (finally) bought a new computer with audio hardware I'd never 
seen before, and then I finally understood why he invented this silly pulse 
nonsense.

I still don't quite understand the entire motivation behind systemd but I'll 
bet it will become obvious to me in the future.

Also, I really don't see a point in booting fast

A speedy reboot is very nice for those of use who compile and test a new kernel 
from Linus every morning and file kernel bug reports when appropriate. If I do 
find a kernel bug I may need to recompile/reboot many times as quickly as my 
machine can do it, so saving 15-20 seconds per reboot cycle just feels less 
painful :)

(and I don't see anything wrong with
openrc). So why do you feel the need to preach? Just curious...

I didn't intend to preach, I intended to brag that I got it working :p
