Seriously? |
| 16 |
(note:: awkward position for me to defend systemd....) |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Because RHEL says so? Why else would they promote systemd? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Because It's what bloggers say that make systemd the Kool_aid of choice |
| 22 |
these days? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Because really, I was just being polite and trying very hard to say |
| 25 |
something nice about systemd? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Because Jim Morrison told me systemd is the way to nirvana, in a 60s laden |
| 28 |
pipe dream? |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Because, if you are not promoting systemd, you are just not Quool....? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Because, resistance, defined as the counterflow to Systemd flux, |
| 33 |
is futile? Reflectance is defined as the summation of your futile resistance |
| 34 |
area, under the curve. The endpoint being when you finally addopted |
| 35 |
(integrated) systemd into your hopes and dreams? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Because cross-dressing the linux systems you manage, with different, custom |
| 38 |
scripts, is so 2010. We all need to wear the emperor's new clothes, to be |
| 39 |
hip, just like lennertd ? |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Because the NSA is funding systemd, and those that do not cooperate, will be |
| 42 |
barred from all GSA and large corporate contracts? |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Because Big, Corporate management believes that systemd will enable them to |
| 45 |
replace seasoned linux admins with mindless drones from the labor pool? |
| 46 |
(Note::Management is always the first to 'drink the Kool_aide' from other |
| 47 |
large, corporate vendors)? You do not want to know what else they do, after |
| 48 |
guzzling the kool_aide..... |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Because, I think we all know that I'm no whiz at systemd, actually far from |
| 51 |
it; in fact I'll be a very late adopter (perhaps post mortem as they inject |
| 52 |
me with embedded linux micro-nomes on my way to an oceanic burial)? |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
So, one of the common arguments you here is that Systemd can standardize |
| 56 |
management across different linux distros. If fact many promote systemd |
| 57 |
based on a standardization track, as a really good idea. So in a large |
| 58 |
installation, it provides the inter-intra-system discipline thereby reducing |
| 59 |
the tendency of admins to create fiefdoms (via unique scripts) within the |
| 60 |
different machines that different admins manage ( vs traditional divide and |
| 61 |
conquer strategies). |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
Perhaps a workshop or conference is a good idea, should you want the latest, |
| 64 |
expert advice on systemd [1]; just pay attention to the "no smoking signs" |
| 65 |
posted near the kool_aid punch-bowl. |

it's been great fun defending systemd! |
