"A very public and sometimes acrimonious dispute in the Debian ecosystem about upstart versus systemd has been settled in favour of systemd. Some go as far as to brand it a new era after the Linux civil war [Beware popups].

We also had an asksoylentnews question on what the fuzz was all about. But what can upstart contribute to systemd now the war is over, or will it simply be a technology that we remember fondly, but do not see any more in a few years time?"

    Too early for rational thought, but this is what goes on in my head every time systemd is mentioned. When I can't "cat" my log files I'm leaving....
    Not even the option to modularise functionality?
    And auto restarts help hide poor quality code.
    Also, pulse audio is dire. I'm not really into personality (don't know the guys name), but my heart sank when I heard the same architect was going to construct this next hulking edifice.
    Anybody know for a "simple", useful, hobbyists OS?

    Gentoo still comes with old rc files, though I don't know how much it represents a hobbyist's OS.

    NetBSD should fit your requirements for a hobbyist OS nicely. Small install footprint and you only add the things you need from the ports tree. I had it running for close to a decade on an old Alpha box.
