However I've had to back away from using systemd. There are simply too many changes going on for me to keep up with and currently I find it much easier to deal with the old style init scripts ( please don't take this a complaint as life and age have slowed some of the processes ). To All: That being said, I think it time for all to "quit yer bitchin" and decide "to fish or cut bait". Right now both ways are supported and that gives everyone time to decide which way they want to go. Less noise about it all would give the devs more time to concentrate on making everything work right instead of either ignoring these debates or tearing their hair out trying to impart some knowledge and understanding to everyone. These are the battles that have spawned many a new linux distro and there's always LFS. It's been said before and I'll reiterate it, If you don't like it work to fix it.
