...39;m not feeling the pain of others, but having professionally managed machines running SystemD for a while now honestly I don't mind it. While the language used (units, targets) is confusing and documentation could be better, there are some things I like about it more than SysVInit. -- Pete Orrall pete at cs1x.com www.peteorrall.com "If there isn't a way, I'll make one."

...ated to SystemD but Fedora/RHEL has changed the way they handle some things. NICs, for instance, are no longer named after the device number (eth0, eth1, eth2, etc.) but after the *driver* name. Yes, it's a change but it also makes sense. IIRC this is how FreeBSD handles NIC names. -- Pete Orrall pete at cs1x.com www.peteorrall.com "If there isn't a way, I'll make one."

According to "Arthur Schopenhauer": "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." I must admit that I skipped through the first and second stages - I never found creating init scripts a joy and instead opted to write my own scripts that I launched via inittab. As
