... no matter how much you tried to reduce your role, I'm forever indebted |
| 20 |
to you for introducing me to an alternative to udev that's much more |
| 21 |
suitable for a server environment. |

That said, honestly even if systemd-udev dies a fiery death, I don't think |
| 26 |
I'll leave mdev for Gentoo-udev; as with other SysAdmins, I prefer my |
| 27 |
system an amalgamation of small, specialized components that I can |
| 28 |
troubleshoot piecemeal, rather than having an überdaemon (mis)handling all |
| 29 |
stuff for me... |
