Systemd != Bleeding Edge. Unix grey beards with Solaris experience just laugh at Systemd as POS reimplementation of Solaris SMF.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. This isn't the first time RHEL has used their commercial dominance to shove some purported latest and greatest "invention" since sliced bread down the throats of an increasingly larger population of sheep users and wannabe RHEL developer fanbois who equate new with better and base their assessments on marketing buzz while forgoing critical analysis.

And before you get all aggressive in your defense of Systemd, try a little reverse chronology. Yeah, step into the way back machine and take a little ride. Look at how many times these "great ideas" that reinvented some aspect of unix heritage led to more problems than they solved. And were ultimately replaced by the next great idea. I mean, RHEL has to have something to sell, afterall.

Nope. Not my first rodeo. My $0.02.

Peace--

P.S.; To reiterate, my issue is not so much with Systemd itself as an init replacement (although from my perspective there wasn't anything "broken" about the old init). My issue is that, like a virus, systemd is infecting all parts of linux. Journald. Networkd, udisks, and on and on... Result will be a monolithic os (M$ anyone?) that eschews long standing Unix/Linux tradition (read time proven) that WILL be exploited. And when that day comes, it will be disastrous.

I remember the OLD definition of "systeme D" ... which was how Foreign Legion private soldiers would take over a neighbourhood bar.

Salix for me the past 3 years

Ten years of Slackware, and still going strong!

what's that ??? a cheap copy of Slack ???

Linux Mint 17 is the best

fixed !!!

There's nothing wrong with Salix, it's a right-fine Slackware-based distro. Have you used it?

I'm goin to install http://www.slackel.gr/ or http://www.slackware.com/(if a friend lend me a 2gb+USB or buy a dvd)

Slackware, of course!

Netrunner is a great distro, based on Kubuntu but so much better in my opinion. These guys are doing a great job, try it.

The most stable distribution is CentOS 6.5.

Totally agree. Despite being a long-term user of Slackware I must say that Salix OS never ceases to impress me for its simplicity and attention to detail.
