Which leads me to ask - those of you running server farms - what distros
are popular these days, for server-side operations? We've been running
Debian like forever (by way of Solaris and redhat) - but this systemd
thing is making me rethink things. Seems like an awful lot of folks are
now designing for the desktop, and it might be time to migrate to a BSD
or Solaris derivative. What are others doing?
