That systemd thing was the best title I could come up with, given this highly technical and fiery debate continues to rage in certain quarters of the Linuxverse. And it certainly seems like no resolution to the debate is in site.

I was in two minds whether or not to even do this video, as it seemed like a video that would be flamed from some quarters whatever I said. But hey, in for a penny as they say.

So with this in mind a take a relaxed and by no means overly-technical look at the main aspects of the debate whilst doing my fair share of fence sitting. This wasn't about adopting a neutral stance, more about getting to grips with the subject area.

Anyway, see what you think. I may be no clearer about which side of the debate, if any, I would side on, but I feel more knowledgeable.

I hope you enjoy the video :-)
