...while I am getting swept away in hate? :) I admit I like very much your point about some of the systemd-nonsense tolls being potentially useful and interesting. What I don't like is that fact that these interesting bits are just part of a monolithic, messy, obscure, hard-to-maintain and hard-to-use spaghetti-implementation that openly targets at managing the whole system. And (call me paranoid) I don't like the fact that the development of the systemd-nonsense is effectively led by RedHat, who has a lot of interest in having "one ring to rule them all", and is managed by people who answer "troll" and "wontfix" to questions and bug reports, in line with the worst commercial-Unix policies of the late eighties. We have been freed once from such nonsense, so why should we come back? IMHO, there is no wonderful bag of technical novelties which can justify a flawed design, incarnated in a flawed implementation, pursued for flawed aims by a bunch of people who effectively act and behave like they have the right answer for everithing, while the rest is just garbage. Call this "hate" if this let you feel any better :) My2Cents KatolaZ -- [ Enzo Nicosia aka KatolaZ --- GLUG Catania -- Freaknet Medialab ] [ me [at] katolaz.homeunix.net -- http://katolaz.homeunix.net -- ] [ GNU/Linux User:#325780/ICQ UIN: #258332181/GPG key ID 0B5F062F ] [ Fingerprint: 8E59 D6AA 445E FDB4 A153 3D5A 5F20 B3AE 0B5F 062F ] _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
