Turnkey is like an appliance. You turn it on and it works. The setup only requires IP addresses and passwords. I have 3 VMs now with it ony host desktop in vmware workstation. It is a God send with mysql admin and php built in.

Which is why VirtualBox and vmware workstation exist. It is outrageous to use this just for, quirks in a browser, but webkit and safari have bugs too compared to old IE in this day and age.

Vmware workstation is worth every penny for any IT professional

Yes there is www.turnkeylinux.com.

Install it and an app in cli appears. Apache, mysql, phpmyadmin, I net settings, everything.

I am a huge fan! They have about a dozen other appliances and it pulls from the Debian wheeze distribution

There is no justification for using paramilitary police action on non-violent petty crime.

I generally agree, but I'd definitely grant an exception in the case of these swatting pranksters. "Live by the sword", etc.

Is not the president the chief executive of the executive branch of government? In essence he reports to Obama

My point was to draw satire of those brainwashed by lobbyists and those who listen to people like Rush Limbaugh.

Since the poor evil government decided on this it is therefore socialism and an attack on freedom!

It is not logical or thought. Just government = bad. Do nothing = good. Socialism = government so therefore bad.

Which is why Republicans want a hearing to censure Obama for undo influence on creating Title II and doing this job as the president. It was him implementing evil communism according the Verizon, Comcast, and others and an ignorant base who believe whatever they say.

You are more than welcome to use systemd if you so choose. Don't expect everyone else to like it and use it just because you happen to.One of the biggest objections to systemd is that it's not just an init system. It's reached almost 300 thousand lines of code. That should give anyone pause for thought who considers it a replacement for init.

300k? That's it. Seriously.

While 200 lines for an init script is certainly possible that's not necessary. For example postgresql has a 58 line init script of which 14 lines are comments and 8 are white space. It also has almost 10 lines that contain one word. It's really pretty simple. If you can't understand it then you're probably not in position to be changing it even if you wanted to.

That is a lot of code for simplicistic arguments based on events in comparison. What happens if the database is compromised? What if an integrity issue pops up? With an event driven daemon you can put those cases in. You need whole programs in init to monitor and do all sorts of other hacks for equivalent functionality.

Ubuntu is being forced to adopt systemd in future versions because debian has done so.

No they are doing so as the market is favoring SystemD. Note I speak as a Solaris administrator who has actually used SMF. It has it perks but it's not all roses.

No it is more work but if you ask any web administrator who has worked with Apache and older versions of IIS then switched to nginx will tell you the pain in learning sucked temporarily but was worth it for speed, security, and now simplicity with an event driven framework.

What is Apple using for init that makes the Macbook Pro's at work boot so slow (off SSD) when compared to the Dell Lattitudes runing (non-systemd) Linux? Both types of machine have Core i5 CPUs and 8GB RAM...

heh captcha - "screwed"

No Apple switched because of scenarios like lets say your MacBook pro fell asleep at work and woke up in a hotel on a different network. Now what?? In the Linux world there are ugly bloated hacks like Network manager for such scenarios but lets say you want to customize this?

LaunchD is event driven like SystemD. You prre-program conditions and what to do. Much simplier. Yes it is faster too.

Remember in 1985 when init was finalized in SYS V a typically unix workstation had maybe 35 programs at the most and were simple things like Vi, awk, cat, etc. Init was simple to start it and run 1 service with no dependencies. That was what it was designed for. Not modern distros with +4000 apps, daemons, interdependence galore, and conditions that change.

It is 2015 and its time to get with the times. You are free to live in the past too if you like. But I am sick and tired of seeing all this fear of change and foaming at the mouth from people who made opinions based on trolls.

You mean you have to make a choice between a cell phone interface or an outdated half decade old no longer updated OS in the windows world? Or go mac and experience the dull, flat, and buggy Yosemite, broken Lion releases, or go back to the good old 2009 days of snow leopard?

Change for the sake of change iskilling the desktop. 2009 was when software was good for non linux. Some would argue 2003 and still use XP 64 bit and Office 2003 because it's menu driven

Why can't they have legal monopolies and abuse their position to compete with Netflix via throttling and charge $100 for a 2 Meg pipe and still be a broadband provider which means no taxes. Wahaha EVIL socialist bastards.

Yeah like using 200 line minI programs with logic and data mixed in your init scripts when a few in SystemD can be done because it is event based all because it's hip to hate started by those who fear change.

Their is a reason Ubuntu, Sun, and Apple left init behind years ago.

Sometimes there are benefits and risks at the same time. The suppliers seek big profits and will always emphasise the benefits. It is not that black and white, and therefore not so easy to get a fraud judgement when suppliers skew the opinion of the people through large marketing budgets. The profits easily pay for a lot of influence.

Sometimes politics has to regulate, and especially neutralize the unwanted pressure from commerce. There are various means, such as diminishing the lobby influence over politicians, to having a strong public television system to counteract skewed information from commercial parties.
