PS I guess I just mention it. I'm quite happy about CentOS (or RedHat if

were fighting with the consequences of this:
http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1571 . If I had Debian machine I
would not only regenerate all key pairs, certs, etc. I would question
sanity of that box then, and will not be certain what confidential stuff
could have been stolen from it... I realized then that that level big
flop
never happened to RedHat. I couldn't even point to something that would
constitute big flop RedHat of then. One only criticizes something while
one cares about it ;-)
Heartbleed was pretty scary, no? I'd consider that at least as bad as
the predictable number generator issue.
Well, heratbleed and shellshock were pretty much global: all systems (not
only Linuxes, not to say particular Linux distributions - my FreeBSD boxes
were affected too) using openssl or bash were affected... Same bad, yet
these were not flops of particular distribution, so whichever system you
decided to stick with , you had these. Not certain about you, but this
kind of makes difference for me. When I say I'm happy about [me choosing
way back] RedHat heartbleed, no heartbleed, no difference.

I guess everyone will have an opinion of systemd whether it be good or
bad. The only resolution is to either use a distro that has systemd on
it, use a distro that DOESN'T have systemd on it...or build your OWN
distro and don't include systemd! I guess when it all boils down to it,
there's STILL choice.....even when it doesn't seem like there is!
