Hi, Not intending to start a flame war here. I have been referred to the website below, and believe they certainly raise some valid concerns.
http://www.debianfork.org/ If you have the time, please take a moment to read over the text, and follow a few links. I am quoting the first few paragraphs as a summary: > We are Veteran Unix Admins and we are concerned about what is > happening to Debian GNU/Linux to the point of considering a > fork of the project. > > Some of us are upstream developers, some professional > sysadmins: we are all concerned peers interacting with Debian > and derivatives on a daily basis. > > We don't want to be forced to use systemd in substitution to > the traditional UNIX sysvinit init, because systemd betrays > the UNIX philosophy. > > We contemplate adopting more recent alternatives to sysvinit, > but not those undermining the basic design principles of "do > one thing and do it well" with a complex collection of dozens > of tightly coupled binaries and opaque logs. I understand discussion on this matter has been quite polarized in some circles. As stated, it's not my intention to start an argument on whether A is better than B, nor do I believe that to be the site's purpose. Rather, I would like to divulge and hopefully incite some productive discussion. Regards, Israel G. Lugo
