Sorry to bother you more, Louis...
Can you take a quick whack at this?

I'd honestly prefer disabling systemd.resolved - but would like to understand your way of doing it better, so I can make an informed choice.

Thanks [and sorry all for the thread drifting from strictly Samba stuff...]

LPHvBvs> Hai,

LPHvBvs> And yes, i can confirm that Rowland is correct about my point of view.
LPHvBvs> I'll also explain a bit why so people can understand my thoughts. 

LPHvBvs> I install a server as minimal as possible, yes, you might
LPHvBvs> miss some packages, but you can install these after the base setup.
LPHvBvs> The Why is, This saves a lot of space, unneeded
LPHvBvs> updates/upgrade of packages you dont use and it results in a more stable server.

LPHvBvs> I setup with, at least i try to, as less as possible of
LPHvBvs> adjustment of the default config files and try to stay in
LPHvBvs> line with the thoughts of the developers. 
LPHvBvs> The Why is, and you upgrade packages or the OS upgrade,
LPHvBvs> lesser problems and lesser you need to upgrade to quicker and
LPHvBvs> more save for unattended upgrade.
LPHvBvs> Because if this all my servers run with unattended upgrades.
LPHvBvs> Daily all packages, kernel reboot needed, in the weekends. 

LPHvBvs> This is why i dont care about sysv services systemd
LPHvBvs> whatever, use it how to os is designed. 
LPHvBvs> And if you dont like it, .. ( sorry for the example ) like
LPHvBvs> Rowland and systemd, he switched to Devuan.
LPHvBvs> A Debian version but without systemd.

LPHvBvs> I dont like Ubuntu, but i do like Debian. 
LPHvBvs> You think, but its the same, no, totaly not, yes, same
LPHvBvs> packages, but not the same in how the system runs.
LPHvBvs> A good example is how the resolving is done, the "unneeded"
LPHvBvs> packages ubuntu installs which only slows down your system.

LPHvBvs> My vision. 
LPHvBvs> Servers, Debian stable, no gui as minimal as possible. 
LPHvBvs> * A note, companies might need, ubuntu or RedHat due to
LPHvBvs> hardware/software support and regulations. 

LPHvBvs> Desktop, Debian stable/Ubuntu Desktop/Ubuntu Mate/Mint
LPHvBvs>         Regular user, keep the desktop defaults.
LPHvBvs>         user like me, install the minimal desktop. 

LPHvBvs> Media server, kodi/plex etc, Ubuntu server.
LPHvBvs>         Debian is getting better here, but i have not tested that. 

LPHvBvs> Above is based on almost 20 years linux use. 
LPHvBvs> Just shareing my thoughs here about the how and why i use my linux. 

LPHvBvs> Questions, just ask me. 

LPHvBvs> Greetz, 

LPHvBvs> Louis
