This is now officially shitful. Work is looking at the cost of unix servers with an eye to reduce overheads. They want to switch to linux. Good, right? Well, no. This BS caused by systemd makes linux look unstable. They passed a decision to move to linux as a trial with a full move when/if this is resolved. Problem is that they are weighing Sun support against the Linux community division over systemd. Thanks Redhat for cooking our goose. Assholes.

Fuck you, Poettering. My sound still isn't working right, I even left my system on overnight to test it and it muted the next morning.

Sun support should be eclipsed by now, you mean oracle? If you have to choose between oracle and systemd I suggest exploring slackware, small but transparent distros like void... or rolling your own since you'll have to waste amounts of time and money in either way.

One may wonder if this whole shit storm started when Oracle forked RHEL to produce their own distro.
Soon after RH stopped publishing easy to use patch sets etc.

I don't see the problem here. You can still choose from FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, PC-BSD and DragonFly BSD. Hell, just go with FreeBSD and you'll get the best of the other variants. They run pretty much all of the same good software that Linux does, without the stupidity of systemd and the other shit from Red Hat and Lennart.
