systemd/udev is actually pretty straight forward to build. Those distros that refuse to update udev because they have to build it as part of systemd are being childish, nothing more. Refusing to update an important part of your system simply because you don't want to deal with it can be called nothing less. > > But anyway, the point is moot.

So they're going to make it use a new feature of the kernel. Nothing wrong with that. Even then, those distros at 182 are STILL 34+ versions out of date. > > Regards, > Adrien Nader > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Slashdot TV.
