SAMBA on Fedora 21

[Angelo Moreschini]

OK!

 So :

   - systemctl is the (dynamic) evolution of traditional way to mange the
   services.

            ( and instead to use the 'service' command is betterto  use
'systemctl' )


   - they are services (even if they are very common and important) that
   have to be installed...



 Thank you for your answers..

Regards
