From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Servers are cattle. Take it out the back and shoot it then find a less terrible server.
Uh... there's absolutely nothing wrong with the hardware, it all works exactly as it should. It's just systemd's insistence on rearranging things that aren't broken, and then changing how you fix the problems it created.
Have you considered Devuan a fork of Debian specifically intended to remove systemd.
I have actually. I saw the post for their latest release earlier today and had been seriously considering switching over. This new machine is to replace my existing firewall as the old one has gone through several upgrades since Squeeze, so I'm trying to get something set up to rebuild everything from a clean installation and then I can simply swap out the hardware (and swap it back real quick if something doesn't work right away).
Tell that to windows sysadmins. Windows would reaaaaally like to be treated like a pet. I feel for them.
