Its times like this that I question what the hell we are doing in computing. 
We have a init system that is that complex, it has a web interface (!) written 
around it. What. The. Hell.

That is a complete web server, with toolstack, to help configure simply 
starting a computer.

Have we lost the plot with regards to OS concepts these days?
