Question I have is, how often are you booting/rebooting a machine? Any savings in time of the service startup is usually wasted on my machines due to a long uptime forcing fsck. There is a machine under my control right now nearing up on 6 years of uptime. So what you saved a few seconds of startup, it is effectively irrelevant to total run time. I have an asterisk machine at 2.5 years uptime. I am in agreement with some of the systemd detractors, if we diverge in a linux only direction, we may hurt other OSS unix like systems. This doesn't seem like a good community move. I think we need to look at the idea that desktop computing is dying. Linux is winning the mobile world even if most people don't realize they are using it. I think linux is still inching away in the server and infrastructure world. -- Steven Critchfield [email protected] -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
