At my "day job" we support all variants of linux, not limited to the RPM based 
ones.  Personally I developed a deep hatred of RPM back at the turn of the last 
century...dpkg has it's limitations and frustrations but I'd take that over RPM 
any day.

Just had to do my first SuSE install...what an odd system.  I don't like it.

As for SysV init I hear you...I hate systemd with the fire of a thousand suns.  
It drove me to FreeBSD.  And FreeBSD's rc-based system actually is not that 
bad...I find it amusing that my FreeBSD server boots up so much faster than my 
SystemD based Linux server.

The AHK Gang! Live on Riot.im.   When we feel like it.
