Ubuntu To Switch To systemd

Posted by Soulskill on from the follow-the-leader dept.

GuerillaRadio writes "Following the decision for Debian to switch to the systemd init system, Ubuntu founder and SABDFL Mark Shuttleworth has posted a blog entry indicating that Ubuntu will now follow in this decision. 'Nevertheless, the decision is for systemd, and given that Ubuntu is quite centrally a member of the Debian family, that's a decision we support. I will ask members of the Ubuntu community to help to implement this decision efficiently, bringing systemd into both Debian and Ubuntu safely and expeditiously.'"

    Good call Mark, glad to see Ubuntu embrace what is comming. Now, for the interesting part, it is time for sys admins to rally and push for the interfaces/workflows that we need. systemd obviously has certain strengths, now lets bring the experience and know how of good sys admins to make working with systemd mutually beneficial for all.

      Nice try. You still have to wait a few months before everybody else leaves for good. Then you can have FP to your heart's content.
