I think some people have forgotten that Linux is a unix system. One of the features that makes unix so useful is the fact that it's made out of lots of individually simple, low level tools that can be combined into higher level systems. So, one thing systemd eventually intends to do is take over the job of cron and replace it. Hey, why run two processes when one is already running all the time anyways and could do the same job pretty easy along the way? That is a TERRIBLE idea. If that idea was valid then you could logically extend it to the point of having one process running the entire system. It might be cool and it might be good for some things but it wouldn't be unix and it wouldn't be 1/100th as useful.
That's all true. But Poettering and his groupies are not interrested in going the UNIX way at all. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
