Ironic considering how systemd developers brag about eliminating race conditions and sleep calls from init scripts.

Yet another systemd post which - Handwaves real criticisms and instead tries to look like an objective writing by presenting a trivial issue - Have no idea about advances in sysvinit in the last decade that allowed support for parallel boot

OK, now I understand what you mean by reliability and I appreciate that. Thanks for explaining it. I'm just not comfortable you claiming it is more reliable than apt because then some people will think it is a package manager with mini

nope. stretch uses lininput by default and doesn't even install synaptics unless you ask it to.

Linux doesn't do no such thing. ext* filesystems do (especially ext3).

I won't comment on your general remark but I don't think it is relevant to this specific case. "noatime" has a simple meaning and a clear name that represents its function: it stops updating inode access times. If you do

Macrium Reflect is superb. Last year when migrating to a new HDD I cloned the Windows partition using Clonezilla, just to be met with BSOD immediately. I wasted 2 days trying to figure out what's the problem, Windows boot recovery, dri

I'm not sure of numbers but AFAIR both kfreebsd and khurd have 80% of packages in the archive and even getting to this level requires Linux compatibility hacks like procfs support

The point is that distro patches are trivial compared to Android patches. Your distro will continue to work fine with a vanilla kernel unless it's using an esoteric configuration, and even with esoteric configurations it's relati

Seconded. If it is not feasible I would appreciate a narrow PDF (like A5) with minimal margins which should be good enough for reading on a Kindle.
