    Good to know I'm not the only one bugged by that, not to mention the stupid "video clips" thing they've added.

    Seems like they gave up on beta but are now messing with the "classic" site.

    I'm suspicious that it was done intentionally, to prod us into posting links on social media and driving more traffic to the site. And why would I want to link my social media sites to Slashdot? I'd want to link directly to the article anyway.

    If you're stuck with Red Hat, your choices have been pretty much taken from you, and you should probably be looking to change to something else, but otherwise you probably have the choice of using OpenRC or upstart, and someone has probably already figured out how for you.
