 KM> Huh. That's very interesting. We were just debating its worth

Who won?! <gg>


 KM> It was asked why no one has forked systemd, and gotten rid of the
 KM> problem parts. Forks have been attempted at least twice that I
 KM> could find, and neither really went anywhere. This
 KM> back-adaptation from Knoppix may be rather more viable, since
 KM> it's being done in an established (if small) distro.

I'll admit to this kind of stuff being in my collection of Black Boxes.
Someone else figured it out, I just plug it in and it works.  When
something doens't work/work right then I start opening the Black Box.


 KM> Oh, and Knoppix's Adriane (text to speech) desktop works GREAT,
 KM> except for the fact that I could not find a way to turn it off!!

Well, seems like ^C would be an obvious keyboard action.  Something else
overriding it?  Thinking along the lines of Keyboard Shortcuts.
