Subject: Re: Linux: concerns over systemd adoption and Debian's decision to switch Date: Tue, Oct 21, 2014 at 01:44:17PM -0700 Quoting Eric Brunner-Williams (brunner@nic-naa.net):
systemd is insanity.
see also smit.
(assumption, we're talking about AIX smit here) smit is transparent, comprehensible and automatable, not to mention bypass-able. My wife, who is running an impressive AIX farm at her place of work, tells me that (and I've done it myself) F4 is the key to escape. systemd is hellspawn crap compared to this. I'm really concerned because I run complicated process control software on Linux and this software is shipped by Vendors who believe in "if there is a support contract for the OS, all is well" fairy tales. This leaves you having to buy DeadRat licenses, unless you can convince them that Centos is functionally equivalent. Time to ask for BSD ports, I think. Linux will be unusable very soon. -- Måns Nilsson primary/secondary/besserwisser/machina MN-1334-RIPE +46 705 989668 WHOA!! Ken and Barbie are having TOO MUCH FUN!! It must be the NEGATIVE IONS!!
