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.

Once I had to start running daemon-reload on changing freaking /etc/fstab I was done with systemd. Give me any other init system at this point.

Can't say it generally, but the day i had to debug DNS issues was the day i kicked Systemd out.

Third time's a charm for Vyatta/eBox?

I don't see any paid support subscriptions yet, so maybe it'll work this time.

Honestly, it seems pretty similar to cockpit which should be available in most distros repos.
