And logging changes, which might also be the thing you notice most about
the switch to systemd.

This was the most disturbing for me as I explained... When I got a console,

there was no /var/log/syslog.

This just mean that while systemd is working you will have to manage differently the view of your logs.

Or said differently: You cannot "cat somefile". It is inside the system, and a command will get you the logs.

Just the same as when I used Windows.

I am probably "old fashion", but I prefer to view logs, especially during the boot sequence. and I prefer the system to wait before resigning for the boot, and of course, in case of failure, to view the last error.

systemd does not give it: the failing startup script will not be shown easily.

PPS. I ask the moderator to inform me on this issue (informing the list could be good too : after all they should know, the list is theirs - they have to know I am banned)
