Happy to get rid of
systemd,
which may have been a good idea at the start but
by now has become a
uncontrolable mess (and therefore a security risk). Startup doesn't
seem
to be slower. I'll install another laptop next
week, and if all goes
well devuan makes a very good chance of replacing archlinux as my
preferred distro.
It was the network startup that was causing the delay -sorted now.
FWIW, I've seen to startup speed difference on my systems between Debian (init) and
Debian (systemd).
But I can't guarantee that. When Debian first switched to systemd, I had problems with
it trying to mount my CIFS shares before it had set up the network connection. And during
updates, it still announces that start/stop is no longer supported for a couple of running
services. How long ago did Debian Testing switch to systemd?
I think I'll put Devuan on one of my desktop partitions and see how it goes. Init I
understood much better than the complexities of systemd!
See you at the
LAC !
:)
Looking at the provisional schedule, I'm wondering when I'll be able
to fit in essential feeding and watering :o
Especially beering! ;)
Closest I get to LAC is having a Linux-using friend who is currently in Germany attending
an Early Music Festival somewhere along the Elbe. I tease him that he's going to come
back 800-1000 years ago.
I'll have to bombard him with brand new music from LAC and the list when he gets back.
Although he liked Jeanette's Bach recordings earlier.
