[ale] systemd or not- *BSD

[Beddingfield, Allen]

I saw that article about a "split" yesterday on Slashdot, and it left me scratching my head....
SUSE has already done this with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) and SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED).  Ubuntu has also done this with their separate server release (or at least there used to be one available - I assume there still is).  Red Hat used to do this, but they haven't had a purely desktop release in some years...

 I was also reading something about a split for linux OSes, one for
desktop, the other for server.. I think *BSD falls under the server
category.. really not even close to ready for prime time desktop.. I
joined a BSD mailing list once, asked a newbie question. got slapped
around pretty bad & told to read the numerous man pages.. blew that away
& reinstalled linux.

as a user, I'm not sure I have an opinion of systemd. nothing about it
showed up in my installation ( fedora 20 amd_64) and things just work.
as an administrator, changing something I used for 20 years is always a
challenge.
