	Golly you old-timers are set your ways. If this was a real
conversation I would say sot in your ways.  I have only been using
GNU/Linux for about 15 years. Started with Mandriva 2006. Most of
you guys started years before me but you have not kept up with
the GNU/Linux news.

	Now Grub2 is as easy as Grub 0.99 if you bother to search for 
documentation.
	Plenty of good distributions without systemd.	
	UUID and labeling as well are great tools.
	"dd" cannot be crippled but in a good script it writes .iso files to a 
Flash Drive very well...

	What sort of support does your distribution of GNU/Linux have?
My choice has one of the very finest User Forums around with plenty
of testers and coders and the coolest packager I have yet found.
If I cannot find an answer there I figure out what I have to ask and
go to the WWW.  DuckDuckGo works very well.

	Good luck with all your problems
