Thanks, I'm not against systemd, it's just that I'm more familiar with |
| 23 |
OpenRC. I installed systemd only to avoid the hassle of a gnome- |
| 24 |
without-systemd and in these few months I've had no complaints about |
| 25 |
it. |

After much reading I concluded that an init system is just that, after |
| 28 |
startup you generally have little interaction with it so one stable |
| 29 |
system is practically equivalent to another one. |

That is, if you don't care about the technical/philosophical issues |
| 31 |
behind one choice or the other... |
