One hopes that we do not need a getty to debug a systemd problem of starting getty's :).

How are the debugging capabilities in systemd? As an Ubuntu user, I've found that debugging upstart (well upstart + plymouth + init) is incredibly painful. In my case it has had to do mostly with getting filesystems mounted at boot, but it was nearly enough for me to throw up my hands and give up on Ubuntu altogether. My initial impression was that I liked the concepts of upstart better than systemd, but honestly all I really care for in my init system is that it gets my system up and running quickly and is easy to debug, and so far Ubuntu has failed with at this for me.

tty1 is always run, only tty2 and beyond do getty auto spawning in order ot guarantee the best debugability.

> tty1 is always run
I thought tty1 was the one which usually did not run because X was there?

In my experience X is normally on 7 or 8. But then I've been using Ubuntu (and before that Debian) for quite a while now, so I'm not sure how the others do it these days.

F15 puts X on 1.
