:) I bought 2006 or 2007 two industrial PCs (fanless). On is for testing and one for production. I also was not able to upgrade from wheezy for couple of years, because there was no kernel to work out of the box with the chipset and CPU. Few years ago I took my time after office work to dig into it. I set up NFS boot/root, so that I can easily test and found the problem. I could compile 4.x kernel. After it was clear what is the magicall combination of features/configuration it was easy to keep up with upgrades. The setup was transferred to the CF card of the PC and is happily serving as a FW and VPN. Regarding the systemd it is installed as dependency, but not running ... Anyway these boards are not booting with systemd, but thanks God there are the sysv packages that make it easy to setup, so as far as we have choice I am happy with debian. regards
