That is utter bullshit. Early boot information comes from the _kernel_ (you may have heard of it?) Anything journald can to is _late_ boot information. Unless you are so brain-washed that you thing systemd is the kernel?

Why don't you read about how the Linux boot process works sometime? First of all, start_kernel() happens midway through, it's not the very first thing (what do you think you're booting if the kernel's already loaded into memory?). Secondly, you get more information with journald because it starts with initramfs, rather than rsyslog which starts later at runlevel 2 under sysVinit. See: https://debian-handbook.info/b...

The sheer size of the distribution can be inconvenient: it is really unreasonable to distribute 70 CD-ROMs to install a complete version on a standard PC This is why Debian is increasingly considered as a “meta-distribution”, from which one extracts more specific distributions intended for a particular public: From Debian handbook: http://debian-handbook.info/br...

Five editions? Of course, it's an ebook, they can claim it's a new edition every time they make an edit and press the save button. Considering that they call their book a bestseller (during a tiny little period of time on amazon.fr), I wouldn't surprised if they would stoop to that level of exaggeration when it came to numbering their editions as well.

And who is their publisher anyway? Lulu is a print-on-demand outfit for self-publishers. My understanding is that you just need to sell one book, in order for yourself to make your royalty.

And also, Lulu doesn't edit your work, nor does it promote it in any way. In that sense, they're just like your local Kinkos or your local copy store, except that Lulu provisions your book a ISBN number for you to be able to get it listed on Amazon (or make it look more like a real book at least), and they take care of doing the printing-on-demand procurement for your customers (although, it's not immediately obvious to your customers that "ships in in 3 - 5 business days" really means "will print and ship in 3 - 5 business days").

Concerning the amount, you need to be aware that the rewards have a price and the net value that will be left for us is much lower. Cf the FAQ: http://debian-handbook.info/faq/#q2.2 And about letting the community do the translation, it's something of a last resort because you really need a small set of translators to have a quality result (i.e. consistent).
