Again, I'd like to thank everyone here for the comments. I've contacted the
two people that said they were willing to help (sorry Hika van den Hoven,
we won't be moving from systemd to openrc).

I'll be watching this thread a little less closely now, if anyone else
wants to help feel free to email me directly.

Thanks,

Thomas Mashos
Mythbuntu Developer
