  1. it does in most cases. If they can't debate/discuss without getting personal, it means they've lost the argument/debate.

    thats a waste of time, you should read Peter H.S.'s comment a bit deeper. especially this bit "systemd does the right thing by stopping normal boot and just boot into a safe, minimal shell. A quick glace in the log file (journal) will instantly tell you (using red letters for emphasis) that fstab is broken in such and such a way. A quick edit with Vim can then solve the problem." - seems a better solution that shutting down, inserting knoppix, rebooting to get to the same place to fix the problem.

    so an incomplete /etc/fstab should be okay and left alone? Does sysvinit log the errors in /etc/fstab or completely ignore syntactically challenged configuration files?

    From what i've read somewhere online recently, the reason systemd came into being was a problem with the "upstart" licence (can't for the life of me find that comment now). So if thats the case, would debian also have a problem with the licence?

    " Let the forking commence." - i presume you've started the ball rolling with some code, how about pointing us to it?

    Death threats isn't an escalation of the argument, more of an confirmation that they have no argument. Resorting to threats of violence is the idiot trolls last stand.

    i find it laughable that the anti-systemd trolls think the anti-arguments are all "sound" particularly when they can't read a dictionary and check out the definition of "monolithic".

    its a start in the right direction, they have spread their reliance on more than one source of power generation. Once good storage becomes a reality and on line then they should be self sufficient all year.

    I stopped using Amazon a few years ago when the tax avoidance became evident. Same goes for Google, Apple, Microsoft, Starbucks, Cafe Nero. As tax avoiders get known, they are removed my my list of places to buy.
