    Once again you demonstrate your superior reading skilz by confusing Electricity Likes Me with Eunuchswear. Maybe you only read as far as the first letter?

    You even misread Electricity's comment as a claim that systemd was installed by default, when he was clearly telling you about the default behaviour of systemd on Debian if it was installed.

    The existence of a package page does not make it a package installed by default.

    Nobody ever said it was. The fact that a package is not in the default list does not make it impossible to install.

    It is perfectly possible to install systemd on Debian Wheezy. It is one of the packages in the standard repositories. The fact that you don't have it on your system tells us nothing about whether Electricity has it on his system. Maybe you don't have Frozen Bubble installed on your system. Does that mean that Frozen Bubble is not part of Debian Weezy? https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/frozen-bubble.

    Gnome.

    Though it's mitigated by the fact that it's fairly easy to replace the godawful heap of shite.

    Gnome is not the Debian desktop. Gnome is a Debian desktop. Debian is not a toy system like Ubuntu that needs wierd flavours to use different desktops.

    "Fairly easy" means "aptitude install kde".

    According to you which distro has better desktop support than Debian?

    systemd is Linux only, and if kFreeBSD and Hurd are to work, they need something else. And that something else might as well work with the Linux kernel too.

    There is something else. It is called sysvinit.

    Right now, Debian is forcing systemd specific APIs onto all kernels, even kFreeBSD and Hurd, by implementing the systemd specific calls.

    What? Debian is forcing kFreeBSD and Hurd to add systemd specific calls? Are you delusional?

    P.S. In that respect I liked the Ubuntu's upstart integration. The upstart manages the boot process and few critical services, but then passes the control to the rc scripts. Want upstart goodies? - just create upstart job. Want the rc scripts? - they are where they always have been. One can have them both at the same time.

    Just like systemd.
