   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.
