Right, by arguing on the basis of the definition of Linux rather than the meaning of his arguments, or as often is the case on this subject dividing and conquering or ignoring the valid points and changing the subject to the 100th *needed* functionality that every system apparently should have by default but actually turns out to already exist but optionally installed and actually means little or just gets in the way of better implementations. There is another reason why Unix consisting of parts that do one thing well is so valuable and that is because arguing over the best way of doing it can't be polluted or crap forced in the back door with the good. Your response is actually closer to trolling. Why is it the the word troll gets so abused. Naming people trolls when they are not is worse than trolling in my opinion. I really haven't the time right now to look over the links having took a break from work to watch a footy match but assuming I didn't miss the sarcasm then if Thorsten Glazer sees even an ounce of merit then I can almost guarantee he is not trolling. p.s. systemd being a bad design for an OS which aims to be so cross platform is simply obvious to me on many levels, at the very least it calls for extra oil/work/code depending on the scenario to meet that aim and with little/no *real/truly beneficial* reason. Still maybe it will be the death of Linux on the desktop atleast for techies and I wouldn't mind to be honest as without grsecurity the linux *kernel* actually has less security features than Windows or even FreeBSD now and FreeBSD was trailing behind for a long time. The userland security is much better than windows but with the exception of apt repos being the only well used thing that springs to mind (which is a valuable security feature) this was basically inherited from good designers. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
