Just in case Jessie turns out to be unworkable for me when it goes stable, last night I made a very nice OpenBSD desktop computer that had most of what somebody could want on a desktop. However, try as I might, I couldn't get Sigil to compile on OpenBSD, and my business depends on Sigil for the next year or so. So what I'm now considering, as an escape route if systemd causes everything to go to hell in a handbasket (and we don't know whether that will happen), is that my main desktop is OpenBSD, with a virtual machine running Debian or Ubuntu in a VM in order to use Sigil and anything else I can't get to work on OpenBSD. I feel much better now that I know I have a Plan B.
