Well I have only responded to incorrect statements and have tried to ignore any that are not from debian developers and may not affect the future of debian but you can't always tell if the person is a debian developer or not (no @debian.org or footer). I shall do myself and some of you a favour however but maybe not the world and unsubscribe as I think I will be unable to ignore everything especially incorrect or innacurate sweeping statements such as found on the following link which I assume is a form of consensus from the developers. https://wiki.debian.org/Debate/initsystem/systemd "Embedded systems benefit from speed improvements, shell-less design, ability to remove optional components, and lower memory footprint." Perhaps I should mention that some of my work involves programming embedded systems including linux and deeper embedded. I have been considering my options (Slackware, but hopefully and most beneficially Openbsd and a linux kernel) recently anyway and whilst I won't cut off my nose to spite my face. I have been wondering if whilst having debian repos available of so many packages is convenient offline perhaps it is limiting me to an out of date subset of available compilable code when most additional tools are small and I am quite capable of fixing any issues with impact. Threads have also brought into question the security of those repos and DVDs, where I thought it was rather higher (atleast I know how trustable a program is if I download it manually). -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
