I ignored the systemd controversy when it first appeared but...the more I looke dinto it, the more I hated it.  I'll go on record right here saying that RedHat hired astroturfers to support it.   When Debian capitulated to systemd, I knew something was very wrong.  Lennart Pottering, the creator of systemd, also made the shit-tacular pulseaudio system infecting every linux system.

I like the attitude of FreeBSD.  They're not as extreme as OpenBSD.  I think they are carrying the standard of the original BSD team.  I love the FreeBSD handbook.  It does a great job of explaining everything.  RTFM in one handy document.

The AHK Gang! Live on Riot.im.   When we feel like it.
