You are running Ubuntu, in version 14.04, which is a version with long term support (LTS).

In this case I think it was a good idea and distros that have avoided systemd also have it, e.g. Slackware. Internal formatting is also standardised.
RHEL/CentOS/SL 6.x doesn't have that file.

True but 7 does. This is the file users should look for first.

"I vont to see da deeestro" said the prince of darkness. Hmm. It was funny when it was still in my head, where it should have stayed.
