..the crazy thing is you are actually wrong here, ;o)
this install will survive 2 disks, 4 laptops and a
desktop box. ;oD

..it started as Squeeze/Sid on a Fujitsu Celsius H240
on a 160GB disk, first the disk died and the OS was
dd'ed onto a 750GB, then the Celsius needed a certain
thawing procedure to boot, as the thaw gradient window
narrowed, the 750GB moved into a desktop and then an
HP nw8440 with such nice tight lid hinges one broke,
then a few weeks in a Lifebook S6420 until a wee gale
broke the screen, another coupla weeks in a big ass
Amilo Xi 1554 and now it's in a Dell Precision M4400,
honed to my taste, all done myyyyyyyy waaaaaaaay. ;o)

..has anyone tried to do e.g. an /etc/rcR.d, or is my big
ass /etc/rcS.d pile best spread out across /etc/rc[3-5].d ?
root@debian:/var/cache/apt/archives# ll /etc/rcS.d/ |wc -l
58
root@debian:/var/cache/apt/archives# ll /etc/rc2.d/ |wc -l
91
root@debian:/var/cache/apt/archives# ll /etc/rc3.d/ |wc -l
311
root@debian:/var/cache/apt/archives#

..the one big thing I like about systemd, is I've been able
to escape from bat shit high load near crashes with e.g.
"systemctl isolate kdm". Wonderful idea we should steal
into our next init and process management packages.
