It therefore *must* be transformed into a monolithic OS with a standard user interface and standard everything else, just like M$/Apphole. If you actually *understood* the software that you so willingly mooch you would also be well aware that this always was, and still is, the raison detre for systemd. Your blatant ignorance makes you more of an enemy than a supporter of GNU/Linux/FOSS. -- Gentoo/LFS: Is there any-fucking-thing else?
