Slackware from scratch with systemd
A new exercise, I built "slackware from scratch with systemd". I used dlackware slackbuilds to build this kind of distribution.
I did it just for the fun.
No proselytism for systemd, just an intellectual exercise.
I find compiler flags: -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 and linker -z relro quite safe with no performance penalty on x86_64 .
I wonder why they are not yet in the current although samba,sshd, cups are already partly so compiled.
Code:
RELRO STACK CANARY NX PIE RPATH RUNPATH FORTIFY FORTIFIED FORTIFY-able FILE
Full RELRO Canary found NX enabled PIE enabled No RPATH No RUNPATH Yes 11 20 /usr/bin/ssh
No RELRO Canary found NX enabled PIE enabled No RPATH No RUNPATH Yes 0 15 /usr/sbin/cupsd
Full RELRO Canary found NX enabled PIE enabled No RPATH No RUNPATH Yes 0 2 /usr/sbin/smbd
No RELRO No canary found NX enabled No PIE No RPATH No RUNPATH No 0 7 /usr/sbin/crond
Distribution: Slackware/Salix while testing others

+1
There is a group (http://www.blagblagblag.org/) that was attempting to remove systemd, SELinux and other little nasties from Fedora...however, It has been stalled for some time.
Given that Fedora is Red Hat's test distro, I expect it would be difficult to remove it, since it'll be more tightly integrated into Fedora than it is anything else I'd suspect.

Maybe that's the MAIN POINT of the joke isn't it ?

It's obvious that it depends of the "day-to-day" job you have... As admin it MUST be different, as a end user I don't know but I guess it might be "less" different.
On this forum, I guess we all have some part of "admin" task.
Let's hope that Slackware, CRUX, Gentoo, Manjaro-openrc and others can hold out and remain systemd-free.
I saw systemd described as the best news for the BSD's!
