Today I was setting up a new Debian system and wanted to remove systemd only to find our
that the old tools "bsdutils" has been made dependent upon libsystemd0
"This package contains the bare minimum of BSD utilities needed for a Debian system:
logger, renice, script, scriptreplay, and wall. The remaining standard BSD utilities are
provided by bsdmainutils."
What the freaking !#¤"#¤"¤#"#%" are people doing!?
Why the hell has this collections of utilities from FreeBSD been made dependent
upon libsystemd0!?!?!?
Freedom of choice my ass!
Lotsa freedom. One of my boxes is doing a major install of FreeBSD as we speak,
so I can see if I can live with it. So far it seems a lot like Debian, except
for iptables, the way their equivalent of /etc/init.d is done, and the funny
names they call things in /dev...
The last time I looked--about 6 months ago--FreeBSD requires a file
system that is not compatible with Linux or Windows; nothing can
communicate with it. Has that changed? Or is there a way to install
FreeBSD on an ext4 or NTFS file system, or some other fs that
Linux can read? I'd like to try it out, but not at the expense of having
a disk that nothing else can read, including GParted.
