I continually embrace new and existing aspects of a range of topics including law, Linux including Centos, and journalism. Once something works well, and is customised to be highly efficient and productive, I am adverse to re-learning an alternative method of effectively doing the same task. Time wasted on the 'new' method is time unavailable for the existing workload. Perceptions based on incomplete knowledge (idle speculation?) may be inaccurate. An abundance of free idle time will obviously assist those wishing to learn contentious Fedora and C7 "improvements". Have a very nice day. -- Regards, Paul. England, EU.

I'm not really all that excited about learning systemd, for example. But I'll certainly give it a fair chance before proclaiming that they can pry CentOS 6 out of my cold dead hands. --keith -- kkeller at wombat.san-francisco.ca.us
