Arch Linux switches to systemd (The H)

[Posted October 10, 2012 by ris]

The H reports that the latest installation image for Arch Linux boots with systemd. "Based on the 3.5.5 Linux kernel, Arch Linux 2012.10.06 is a regular monthly snapshot of the rolling-release operating system for new installations. Among the changes since the last snapshot are a simplified EFI boot and setup process, and the use of the gummiboot boot manager to display a menu on EFI systems. Additionally, new packages including ethtool, the FSArchiver tool, the Partimage and Partclone partition utilities, rfkill and the TestDisk data recovery tool are now available on the live system."

Wow, a post about systemd and no 100-odd-comment-long 'discussion' about the merits of said software?

I'm almost disappointed.

That horse has been beaten to death. I hope you're all happy.

It's official: Animals were harmed in the making of systemd.

I'd hope bugs were harmed, at least.
