So, what would you all propose? For a server? Or for a user desktop?
Or something that fulfills both scenarios? And why?
Just wondering.
See above and unless you are a tester or developer you may want to
roll-back to Squeeze.
Why Squeeze? Wheezy has sysvinit just fine… and so or so I expect Jessie
to
work with sysvinit as well.
Hi Martin, Something I did not know at the time you asked the question:
Why Squeeze?.
Is that Wheezy was used by Debian to test systemd and even though I did
not know this at that time I did not feel comfortable using Wheezy as my
main desktop and now knowing that Wheezy is capable of installing
systemd it will not be my main desktop until systemd is proven to be
safe to use, I need to know more than words from a blog or a wiki to
feel comfortable.
I have been able to customize Squeeze to do all and behave as good as
Wheeze but probably a little faster and once again I feel like a "Happy
Debian User". :)
While Wheezy has systemd packages and it somewhat works, but also had lots of
issues in my testing with really systemd packages, its optional.
So as long as you do not install it, you will have sysvinit just as with
Squeeze. So systemd is not a reason to delay an update from Squeeze to Wheezy.
As I have posted elsewhere, I have more than a few installs of Wheezy, I
also have testing and unstable installed too, they will remain as always
until I no longer have an interest in Debian and that will be a sad day
if and when it happens.
Its Jessie/Sid that are under some circumstances difficult to use without
systemd. As to my current knowledge one of the circumstances is an installed
GNOME desktop.
I install using the Debian-Live-KDE-iso(another project I have helped
with) and will continue my testing and upgrading of Debian systems for
as long as Debian fits my needs.
Upon the first sign of a backdoor and/or keylogger being installed and
used in Debian by default it will begone and mentally ripped to shreds.
