    And when a service has not started you are not aware of this fact and you spend
    a lot of time to find out why your network is not working... why you can't make
    any ssh from another computer... and so on.

    This is really a stupid idea!!

    If you don't have the root permission, it is better to phone to your system
    administrator, saying :"network has not started at boot time" (because you have
    seen the "FAILED" warning) than to say: "something is wrong, I don't know
    what!"

    Why developpers of linux distributions always want to imitate MS stupidity?
