Sorry, as the creator of Gentoo Linux, I disagree with you. The fact is that |
| 12 |
some people aren't concerned with the system logger and want *us* to make an |
| 13 |
educated choice for them. So this is an area that we will probably improve in |
| 14 |
the future, and we will soon (like in 2 days) have all the features in our |
| 15 |
initscripts to support it. |
