[NBLUG/talk] Recap of systemd talk, and other thoughts?

[Omar Eljumaily]

Philosophically, there seems to be a trend to turn what has historically 
been simple file based configurations into myriads of commands and 
convoluted, diverse files.  If /etc/init.d can be replaced with a 
similar set of files, then fine, but it seems like there's added 
complexity with no apparent gain.  Am I wrong?

If I were to fix problems in service startups, I would make it easier to 
create individual startup scripts, something that I constantly struggle 
with.

Just my take, and I may be talking about something that's over my head.

Thanks,

Omar
