And I forgot, desktop and servers are not the same. Install all the shit you want on your desktops, but leave the servers alone. The point is the servers is to have a minimalist approach.
Granted, the greatest advantage of Debian is the excellent package management. But it is not an advantage when it works against our wishes i.e. installing a framework we do not want.
I have been using Debian since 1996, and *BSD occasionally. Now I am waiting for Monday and FreeBSD 10.1. Will be testing it in the next months. I do not want to reach Debian 9 and having systemd shoved down my throat. Had the unpleasant experience of having to pin systemd to -1 to not having it installed by default when updating a couple of Debian servers to Jessie.
It is not about systemd really, it is about they forcing systemd down our throats, which is quite a different thing. The power of Unix/Linux/Debian has always been about choice.
I think you did not get my point and that I was being sarcastic. If you have dead bodies, the money and what they (do not) do have to come from others.
GIGO. I did that on purpose to an obvious shill/troll from the media cartels. And a poor one at that. Discussions about media rights are always full of them.
Not that much difference once speeds exceed 5 Mbps? You surely jest. I would say once speeds exceed 30-50 Mbps, there is not much more difference. However that is one side of the coin, it does not matter much if my ISP gives me 1Gbps down and only 100 Kbps up. The other direction it too important. We have 100Mbps/8Mbps at home, and it makes quite a difference.
When you are with some foreign visas, you have to get out often in a while to extend them...there is no way around it, except maybe bribing heavily local officials. Which is not difficult. Once when South Africa did not let me in with some stupid technically, someone gave me a contact of a corrupt official without even my asking. I just preferred to do it the legal way, and got a new, legal passport in the consulate in 4 hours time [granted, a record].
It is not the point or being good or not, this is all about content control, digital scarcity and a new age of digital feudalism. They are shitless scared you and me can get directly the goods from the actual creators on a not so very far future.
Do not contradict the guy, he is right. The problem since the invention of the printed press has always been creating a artificial scarcity AND controlling the distribution chain AND controlling content. Media consumption is a very strong method of brainwashing you subjects.
So your peers are perfectly fine to have to have the 2x or 3x times the work to compensate for the others that cannot do it. Seems a perfectly sane plan. Would you mind to name your company?
Move to a hypothetical rat hole, lets make up a name, say Gibraltar, and then reduce the salary to less than people usual make for the privilege of only having sun and beach around, and nothing else. Sure that it is far better than being in a city. Much better. I will relocate to there if then they pay me for a couple of years of therapy.

My concerns are not the desktop support and sound, is having servers with unnecessary shit installed.
Before upgrading Debian 7 to 8, pin systemd NOT TO INSTALL. /etc/apt/preferences.d/01systemd
Package: systemd
Pin: origin ""
Pin-Priority: -1
The point is not change but choice. I do not need any of that cruft for my 500MB servers.
Last time I noticed I do not all systemd on all of my servers. Do you say now is mandatory to install it?

The biggest advantage of Unix/Linux has always been *choice*. As far as I knows, Debian has had stable versions for 20 years without systemd.

The point is getting out of Debian ;)

updated to jessie and installed systemd by default, had to roll back VM and pin systemd. Fuck Debian.
be here in 5 years?

I might one day move abroad and launch my own company if I get customers to get it rolling. ;)

I do not maintain an open facebook profile, and only add people I know and family. Past and present co-workers, linked.in.
It is not as HR are/were the brightest bulbs. A secretary is probably smarter than them.

This is particularly relevant. In this day and age of Internet decent speeds why not have more teleworkers?
