So, looks like Debian has received a sufficient number of complaints regarding systemd to reopen discussions. There is genuine concern that, given systemd's goal of taking over control of the entire operating system, it will deprive users the freedom to choose init systems. To wit, as it stands right now, if you want to use any of the supported desktop environments on Jessie then you do not have a choice. systemd's assumption of udev makes it a hard dependency. Meanwhile, I've finally had enough of systemd causing problems on my testing box. I ripped it out using the instructions posted here a few months ago: apt-get install sysv-rc sysvinit-core sysvinit-utils edit /etc/udev/udev.conf to log at err or higher update-initramfs -k all -u Let it remove all of systemd's dependencies. Purged razorqt and a few other things. Considered installing TWM but went with IceWM instead. Rebooted, everything came back up correctly. -- Rich P.
