I got interested in "Systeme D" some time ago; your post triggered a
memory and led me to some old notes...

========================================================================
System D

Systeme D = French for "it's your problem, not mine"

Corollary to Adams' S.E.P. field (someone else's problem)

http://journal.heinz.cmu.edu/articles/congo_coltan_conflict/

http://padawan.info/2003/04/systme-d.html

Related to bricolage, which basically means tinkering or something made
by tinkering. Related, therefore, to hacking.
========================================================================

The cmu.edu link is dead now, but for reference:
   https://web.archive.org/web/20070401213541/http://journal.heinz.cmu.edu/articles/congo_coltan_conflict/

has a colorful reference to "systeme D".  It is otherwise incredibly
depressing.

The second URL at padawan.info is all about Systeme D does a great job
of explaining it.  FWIW.  YMMV.

... and yes, hysterically funny they called it "systemd".
