Re: Is this true? I read this off putting text about FreeBSD
Yes, I read it in comment on Reddit, I think. I disagree with such a statement. Systemd is antiunix binary blob, and *BSD is just analogy to any linux distro - complete OS. Apples and oranges. Web is full with rants (from both sides) like this one https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/8/12/459 and articles like this one http://www.infoworld.com/d/data-center/systemd-harbinger-of-the-linux-apocalypse-248436?source=fssr - I am using on one computer Centos 7 (RHEL 7) with Gnome and systemd and it is buggy as hell (mostly GNOME though) - I hope RedHat loses customers, fire Lennart and find some sanity...meanwhile thanks to them *BSD's ranks could grow with broken-hearted Linux users.
P.S. I like the Unix philosophy: one program do one thing and it does it perfectly, but it doesn't mean that OS has to be clone of 30 years old system. I miss Linux's /proc on FreeBSD for example. I guess no OS can satisfy everyone.
rusty said:Recently seen it claimed (from systemd apologists) that BSD users should be 'for' a systemd system as it mirrors BSD design. They believe that Lennarts ideal of creating a base system under the governance of systemd is no different than what we have when using a base system with FreeBSD.
