(Why shutdown when you can suspend?) When you install a new machine? Or whenever you boot and there is a network problem, you will have to wait until ntp times out before you can do anything. Normally it doesn't bother, but when you're mucking about with machines you can run into this problem. <systemd bashing> In the beginning, one of the reasons systemd was created was to increase boot up speed. That's something I've never understood, because: 1) a laptop: suspend 2) a workstation: hibernate 3) a server never shuts down 4) the bios initialization of a server seems to be a natural constant. Or even worse, I think a today's HP server takes longer to get through the bios initialization process than one that is 20 years old. So a few seconds for Linux to boot quicker doesn't make the difference. </systemd bashing> R. -- ___________________________________________________________________ It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak aloud and remove all doubt. +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Richard Lucassen, Utrecht | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
