That is hardly a Unix principle given Unix itself was a hack on an old box to run spacewar as much as anything else. Unix principles seem to have worked well - policy is in user space, initialisation is handled by user space, the kernel doesn't have to embody this. Now systemd may be a pretty lousy attempt to replace init at this point but it is also show the basic flexibility of keeping such stuff in user space. It may also do good things just as the fact NetworkManager was a complete pile of crap inspired various people to write conman (which in turn seems to have given the NetworkManager people the needed incentive 8)) Alan -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
