Re: [tlug] Um, so... systemd?

Systemd reminds me of SMF which brought improvements over the RC way of service management . Except systemd seems takes on more than SMF did. I'm fine with it so long as it works. 

Tech is an evolving art and so this falls in line accordingly. We can't expect things to remain as they were.
