"A very public and sometimes acrimonious dispute in the Debian ecosystem about upstart versus systemd has been settled in favour of systemd. Some go as far as to brand it a new era after the Linux civil war [Beware popups].

We also had an asksoylentnews question on what the fuzz was all about. But what can upstart contribute to systemd now the war is over, or will it simply be a technology that we remember fondly, but do not see any more in a few years time?"

    Hey, you. Yes, you, and your parent. And while we're at it, every single motherfucker who's made similar complaints -- This site is about DISCUSSIONS, the "articles" provide only a topic for discussion.

    I know those dastardly scum who named this place Soylent News should be strung up by their balls for falsely advertising that this place is about "news," but then again we are assumed to be a crowd of 3-digit IQ who can "read between the lines." No, stop that -- put that magnifying glass away -- there's literally nothing between the lines I just posted, back away from the monitor before you bump your head. What are you doing without your helmet on anyway? Don't you have a short bus to catch?

    Thank you. I don't care that it's 30 days old.

    I don't know anything about it, and quite frankly, I wish some people around here that understood it could compare and contrast Upstart and SystemD for me and possibly tell me why it was such a big deal in the first place.

    For there to be so much emotion, especially from techies, I know the pros and cons on either side must have been huge.

    So what were they?

    I know this very well. In fact, this is the crux of why I left Slashdot to come here. I even said as much over there. http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=4761527&cid=46 178769 [slashdot.org]

    Oh, by the way... go fuck yourself.
