   No more /etc/rc.d/rc* for starters.  :)

   One is mine and one is systemd's. Hindsight being 50,50 it was a bad   
   choice of names. I picked it since I had read that the rc local service   
   script was going away. Guessing when those wonderful "designers"   
   figured out there would be a great gnashing of teeth from everyone who   
   modifies rc.local, they migrated it instead.

   Stuff I used to put in /etc/rc.d/rc.local.

   In the systemd man page of course. Note, man systemd on Mageia 2 is   
   nothing like what it is on Mageia 3.   
   $ man systemd | wc -l   
   588

   The supposed gain is the semi-automatic parallelization of the script/apps.

   Please do not give them ideas. They will store them in a sql database.  :(
