Why RPM?  dpkg offers similar functionality.  I will use systems that use
either.

Sadly, seems to be a dying breed these days, with systemd taking over on a lot
of distros.  I haven't got my head around systemd, but know one of these days I
really need to get to know it, because like it or not, I will be using systems
that are based on systemd.

That said, I quite like SysV init.  It's straightforward and orderly.  Most of
my systems still use it.
