systemd [NOT?] (was Re: Void Linux tips)

[Michael Havens]

hey eric,
 call asu and find out how you can get one of their old computers. i live
in gainesville and i picked up an optiplex 765 for less than $25 from the
university of florida. I'm using it to build linux from scratch. my compile
standard build time was like 12 minutes when doing it in a Virtual Machine.
Now an SBU is 2 minutes. now it is a different/newer computer so that might
have been the problem but I prefer not having to split the RAM.
