My experience with systemd hasn't been the greatest. It seems like for it to be useful without a lot of trouble a distribution has to already make it the primary init replacement so that all the init scripts (Or modules or whatever systemd calls them.) will be produced for them, meaning I could often not even get things like kdm/slim running on runlevel 5. On Arch when I tried it, it also seemed to completely ignore my fstab and not mount my /home.On Sun, 2012-07-29 at 16:09 -0400, Tom H wrote:On Sun, Jul 29, 2012 at 3:26 PM, Ralf Mardorf wrote:On Sun, 2012-07-29 at 14:05 -0400, Tom H wrote: /media/mount_point switched to /run/media/user_name/mount_pointIt's not an Arch change.

I have not tried it on Debian. But on Arch and Gentoo I had too much trouble for it to be worth it.
As for Arch's changes to the hierarchy, I can't remember, but they weren't very FHS-compliant changes, which also disturbed me, since the FHS has a lot of sane practice to it.
