OpenRC is one reason I stayed with Gentoo, because it seemed better to me than the way other distros did things (well, better than Suse, at least, which was the other distro I tried way back then). However, now I default to systemd, because for me it's even better than OpenRC. Plus, I don't have so many systems that I couldn't migrate them all :-) . -- Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup
