Hi everyone!
My experience with systemd is a +1 as well. I use it in my laptop and it provides a nice experience for a desktop user. Starting services on demand, suspend support and all other features gives a nice experience for an end user.
Maybe it's just my idea but I think the system is somewhat faster on the booting now. True for me as well. From grub to kdm in around 5sec.
Nevertheless, this overall good opinion can't hide certain (or significant I might say) worries. Your system now relies in a bunch of binary code that might not be posible to workaround if something goes wrong. Scripts may not be as efficient but they are great in order to skip,modify or run them in case of emergency.
Right, because /sbin/init isn't binary and none of the scripts relied on a interpreter that wasn't binary code? Cheers, Sander
