  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.
