I, as I mentioned, have also installed systemd and Jessie for the first time. I too have been n nervous and was letting the dust settle. But I needed up-to-date for my shiny new media computer. I tried Linux Mint and MATE first. We'll draw a veil. I made myself stick it for six months and try to iron the problems out. My advice? If you have problems with your sight avoid LM and MATE like the plague. I finally gave myself a break and installed Jessie and TDE 14. As Karl says, Brilliant. It installed easily, fast and without a hitch. > My system now boots in SECONDS. It nearly boots *too* quick. It seems > like the pause in Grub is taking longer than both the POST and Debian > boot!? Mine too. This is a media computer. Fast = good. I have explained to my husband that I could even shorten GRUB, but I don't want to - I want easy access. > I'm sure that there is a *lot* of work going on for Debian Jessie that I > simply have not paid attention to - simply because it did not cause > problems. Which is absolutely excellent - that's the way software > *should* be. Keep up the good work! I am conservative. Without all the fuss I would probably have chosen to install another, more established, init system. But in the circumstances, I took a deep breath and installed the default. I love it! Maybe not at all times, in all circumstances, for all people, I don't know. But for this application and this person, Brilliant! Thank you, developers, for all your work.
