Hi,

I am posting this to gain all the wonderful advertised benefits of LQ.

I have been using UNIX since 1975 (an old fellow, you see). And Linux since I first noticed it, I think about 1998. At that time I was Director of Technical Strategy at a large international IT company based in the UK. Linux became my hobby. I retired in 2002. I used to be a Fellow of the British Computer Society, but couldn't see any point in it after I retired.

I used to build Linux-from-Scratch systems, but over the years I lost interest and now use Mint for my day to day systems. I still occasionally build LFS, just to keep my hand in.

I detest systemd and all it's works, so right now I am looking for ways to avoid it. If necessary I will go back to building my own systems from scratch.

Happy to meet ya!

Howdy and Welcome from the local Scooter Tramp that is systemd free. (on some hardware, not all)

Code:

harry@antix1:~
$ inxi -S
System:    Host: antix1 Kernel: 3.19.1-antix.1-486-smp i686 (32 bit)
           Desktop: IceWM 1.3.8
           Distro: antiX-15-beta1-V_386-full Killah P 16 March 2015
harry@antix1:~
$ cat /proc/1/comm
init

Does ChromeOS netbooks use systemd? I got one of those (C710) also?
It makes one wonder.
