FWIW, prior ot Alison's delivery of the talk at SVLUG, some ranting by overly impassioned anti-systemd people such as Mark S. Bilk and (quite a bit more reasonably) Steve Litt on SVLUG's main discussion list seemed to really drive up interest: We had about 100 people attend. People seem to love controversy, even controversy represented by the ranty pure-advocacy type that Mark's tech help posted here. So, count your blessings. (For excessively ranty and kinda-annoying values of 'blessings'. ;-> ) (I also heard Alison give what appeared to be the same systemd-boosterism talk at SCALE, though I had to quietly duck out after about 15 minutes because of a conflicting obligation.) In other news, I've got my Debian 8.0 'Jessie' test system quite easily converted to OpenRC, and am much cheered by a really good event-driven init being an emerging option on many more distros, not just Gentoo, Funtoo, and Manjuro. Only one problem: As Adam Borowski pointed out, it lacks a hostile upstream. ;-> [1] A good cgroups / LXC manager that isn't horribly engineered and a dependency hairball that makes one's system difficult to diagnose problems on, any more, (i.e., that is not systemd) would be welcome, too, so I'm on the lookout for that.
