Guess my distro (Score: 1) by ploling@pipedot.org on 2015-02-06 23:44 (#2WXZ) I will avoid systemd at all costs, You might think I live in Soviet Russia when I say I won't run it because it has hookers (begging for digital STDs) and blackjack (taunting financial loss/downtime hell and you can't win) :3So far my distribution is safe-ish until 2017 or so, maybe 2019 and I have some hope that they have the wisdom to avoid it since they and it exist because they've avoided other awful things of a similar nature. I think and hope Linux will survive (and systemd die) but it has made me more interested in BSDs and surprisingly GNU/Hurd.If I ran serious servers I would have moved to BSD already. Congratulations to those that have. Thank you to the companies that have started offering BSD-based alternatives for their services.Can you guess which distro I run? And hip hurray for the subscript button woohoooo! Re: Guess my distro (Score: 1) by billshooterofbul@pipedot.org on 2015-02-09 15:43 (#2WZR) Hurd, seriously? There is less development on Hurd today than was being done on Linux was back in 1993.A lot of the complaints I hear about SystemD are eerily similar to the ones I used to hear about linux in general from Sun/HP Unix/ IRIX guys back in the day. While its not without its flaws, there is too much development behind it to slow it down now. Things that appear to be fatal flaws will get fixed. Reliability will improve. Even segmentation of the various parts may happen ( a useless D reemerge wouldn't be that surprising).
