I really don't have the time nor the inclination to continue this but... |

Why would you in that case install Gentoo and not Fedora? They (Fedora) |
8 |
do the "kitchen-and-sink-installation" with systemd, which begs the |
9 |
question: Why are you using Gentoo in the first place? I'm asking |
10 |
because I honestly don't see why you would want to use it if you just |
11 |
don't want to care about how the system works... |

Also, all your "technical" arguments are not really technical at all; |
14 |
It's merely a differing (from mine) philosophical view on how you think |
15 |
a operating system should work (the details on how to solve that is |
16 |
technical on the other hand). Which is what I was trying to show you |
17 |
with my first reply... although a bit convoluted perhaps. |

I don't really care about what init system I use but I do know what I |
23 |
don't want and that's systemd. But I am a fanboy of Unix philosophy[1]: |
24 |
"keep it simple, programs do one thing and do it well, clean interfaces, |
25 |
portability etc..." (see how systemd doesn't fit that?). |
26 |
So you can call me a fanboy too if you like, I don't care. |
