It has been toxic since I started playing cs way back in 2000.

>> For example, want to list services? Just use `ls /etc/init.d/`

You can do systemctl list-unit-files

If you want to see the enabled services, then add --state=enabled , for disable --state=disabled. You can grep for those words as well.

>> Want to monitor a log file? Use something like `tail -f /var/log/whatever`

You can still do that.

With systemd, You can use journalctl to tail the log file by journalctl -u <unit> -f , so something like journalctl -u postfix -f

You can use journalctl to search for logs in a specified time period journalctl -u postfix --since "2022-09-30 15:10:00" --until "2022-10-01 02:00:00"

Want to see a log for a specific boot ?

journalctl --list-boots journalctl -b <boot id from the previous command>

You can view more about journalctl at https://linuxhandbook.com/journalctl-command/

>> How can I reliable see what file systems are supposed to be mounted at boot?

I still use fstab for this.

>> Sure, it wasn't super consistent but you used the same tools as you always used to.

You can still use most of the same tools. I use tail,grep,awk like I used to, but I like the fact that with systemd I get a system configuration layer (which includes the init system) rather than having different tools in each distro.

Do you prefer the old init system because it is something you are used to (and do not want to change) or do you have specific instances where systemd is broken for you ?

Those are screenshots from the old GUI which used X11/KDE. They are working on a new one which do not have any screenshots up yet.
This whole incident reminds me of the Tuttle OK vs Centos incident from 2006

I assume some of those apps may not work with case sensitive file systems. Which I believe is supported by ZFS.

I work for a hosted VoIP company.

>> it was great having a perfect call connection anywhere there is decent internet.

Thats the catch. The internet service has to be good enough for VoIP. Many times, having the right router is key.

>> I'd pick up the handset and the dial-tone was immediately there;

As long as the handset thinks its registered, dial tone will be immediate.

As far as the Ooma experience goes, if you can change the codecs for your device to use something like G722 rather than the normal PCMU/PCMA or GSM, call quality should be good. What handset did you get for your Ooma service ?
