When I read about file sizes, my immediate thought was that it's being used as a metric for simplicity of configuration. Did noone else think this? If the configuration file sizes are small, this might indicate that it won't be a nightmare to configure. > My main argument > was "If I can get this done anyone can.

Sorry if I offend anyone. Thank you for sharing this Myra; I think this is a helpful argument. The lesson seems to be: systemd is not difficult to use; it's just new, shiny, and different. Don't be scared of it. As for me, I haven't made the switch yet mainly because I haven't had the time to look into it properly. Paul
