Though it is certainly over used and depended upon. Like firefox having it as a compilation rather than runtime option making firefox harder to chroot well. That's quite relevent to systemdif you think about it. > If you don't use it now, then you don't have bluetooth and you need root > privileges to (u)mount removable devices.

IPC is even more used on Windows causing major security and other problems. Can I reiterate and unfortunately have to get personal. Despite the FUD lennart has made about systemd being required in the future, that simply isn't going to happen. At best he will make swathes of code difficult to use on some systems and give headaches to major distributions. The biggest of which has just moved to xfce by default from Gnome which is no longer the most used GUI. It seems it is often the questionable code that will require systemd and polkit so far too. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
