Before anybody asks, no I do not intend to use systemd for my main
systems. But my current build is using it, to keep up to date with
the LFS-dev book.
For much of what I run, the service and other unit files come from
Armin's systemd-units tarball. But there are a few things which are

It took me a long time to try firefox-29.0.1, because I was not

29.0.1). But eventually I bit the bullet (for me it is quite a big

For years, I used to run a logrotate script which I think Gerard

probably did not do anything for things I'd added over the years
which logged separately (on my server, postgresql and apache, on

For this, I really *am* a newbie! I bought a netbook in 2011. It
came with win7 which I thought might be useful for my TomTom satnav,
but wasn't (win7 is unusable - too little memory, underpowered CPU).

On my netbook, which is currently labouring in a second attempt to
build libreoffice (and this time I suppose I'll have to try to debug
the problem if it fails :-( ) I have a two-button mouse. Paste
