But I really, really, don't like systemd so I moved to MXLinux because you can install it without all that horrible cruft.
I've grown used to systemd now and wouldn't really want to move away from it. I definitely dislike it in principle (do one job and do it well, etc) but I have become familiar with the unit files and as it's the default pretty much everywhere these days I lost any interest in fighting against the tide. I preferred Ubuntu's Upstart but since even they gave up the fight I did too!
I see that MX does have systemd but disables it by default though. So that's not a show stopper for me.
What are the arguments in favour of sysvinit over systemd, beyond the one I mentioned? I'm surprised that upstart didn't replace sysvinit for those who dislike systemd. -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0344 251 1450 Registered in England (0456 0902) 21 Drakes Mews, Milton Keynes, MK8 0ER
