Before leaving Debian, things to think: - will systemd be officialy the only system available ? - if so, won't we get a way to bypass that ? I'm not gonna throw Debian away due to such a mess, without fighting hard, and I think you should do the same: talk, patch if needed, show you're here If all good people who laugh insanely about systemd leave Debian alone, who's left ? gnome-people ? systemd-fanatics (heretics?) ?

Which leads me to ask - those of you running server farms - what distros are popular these days, for server-side operations?

Seems like an awful lot of folks are now designing for the desktop, and it might be time to migrate to a BSD or Solaris derivative. What are others doing?
Not making rash decisions.
Debian and CentOS are still the 'asked for' distributions of Linux. Once in a blue moon, someone asks about something else.
Those that care are outnumbered greatly by those that just want a known platform to develop upon. (The irony of this is not lost on me).
I'd take systemd over ditching apt/yum in a mad panic. And I'm certainly no fan of systemd myself.
