Linux Mint Will Continue To Provide Both Systemd and Upstart

jones_supa writes: After Debian adopted systemd, many other Linux distributions based on that operating system made the switch as well. Ubuntu has already rolled out systemd in 15.04, but Linux Mint is providing dual options for users. The Ubuntu transition was surprisingly painless, and no one really put up a fight, but the Linux Mint team chose the middle ground. The Mint developers consider that the project needs to still wait for systemd to become more stable and mature, before it will be the default and only option.

Take note modern shitposters. This is what a good troll looks like.

If everyone who wants to derail a discussion would put in as much effort as this the Internet would be saved.

IIRC these "binary" logs you speak of are simply text files with indexing information attached. They're not encrypted or compressed, you can, at worst, use the "strings" command to pull the information, and if you're doing raw sector dumps from a hard drive then you'll be able to read them there too.

Of course, if the log files are zero'd out, like the bug report you quote, then it doesn't matter whether they're "binary" or text, you're screwed. That has nothing to do with systemd.
