Again, not enough time to study the docs yet, and I personally think |
| 30 |
it was very clear from the title that this whole conversation is very |
| 31 |
exploratory. Like Duncan, when I start to get the bug to look at |
| 32 |
something down the road I know I'm gonna do it if for no other reason |
| 33 |
than just to try it out. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
All of that in mind the above comments about two kernels coupled with |
| 36 |
Canek & Rich's comments about keeping parallel settings (I'll have to |
| 37 |
go think about that) makes a lot of sense and is likely the way I'll |
| 38 |
go. |
| 39 |

If nothing else, I could always just do a systemd-based install from |
| 41 |
scratch if I botch all of this somehow but I doubt that will happen. |
| 42 |
Doing it in a VM is a possibility also. I've wanted to study LVM a bit |
| 43 |
so maybe that's the way to try this out. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Thanks to all that have answered. I'll read anything else that comes |
| 46 |
along but I've gotten lots of great thoughts and hints. Cheers to all. |
