And not only to other-than-desktop, but also to ports and architectures other than i386/amd64. I don't have a problem with systemd per se. I have used it before on Fedora containers, and beyond the initial learning-curve it was without any problems that I noticed. My problem with systemd *as default in Debian* stems from the fact that systemd only works with Linux, and is only known (to me) to work on the aforementioned arches. It seems like a lot of unnecessary work to switch Debian GNU/Linux to an init system that the Debian GNU/!Linux systems can't use. I brought this up once on #offtopic and was told that sysvinit doesn't work on bsds (that's a paraphrase using the same words, not a quote) and then ridiculed. This email thread: https://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2014/02/msg00135.html indicates that that isn't the case. Although I haven't been able to confirm it, I suspect that sysvinit is actually the current default in the kFreeBSD port. Even if it isn't, I'm not suggesting that sysvinit should be retained as the default. I'm suggesting that the Universal Operating System should make some effort to keep the same basic components across ports and arches if possible. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
