Ubuntu To Switch To systemd

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.'"

Re:Whats wrong with init?

[gweihir]

The only thing wrong with init is that a cretin named Poettering did not create it. As this person wants to set himself a statue, this is apparently reason enough. There are tons of things wrong with systemd though, not the least of it that it completely ignores UNIX philosophy and violates KISS.

Incidentally, systemd is unstable, hard to debug, hard to configure, complex, thinks binary log formats are acceptable and the same cretin brought us pulseaudio.
