This would be a better way to do this. I wouldn't worry about how it
affects the textbook. I plan to have an update section on GitHub that
would give updates by section/page number and give reasons why the update
was implemented. These updates would then get folded into the next
revision.
Thanks,
Ross

I've talked briefly about this with @tvannoy <https://github.com/tvannoy>,
and it's not clear how significantly this change would affect the textbook
content. If the impact turns out to be substantial, waiting to implement
this until the next textbook revision may be warranted.

My only comment here, in terms of pedagogy, is that we need to ensure that students still learn to create a systemd service, perhaps to launch their program on boot. If we make sure that they write their own systemd service elsewhere, then I'm fine with using |
