that looks so much cleaner than init.d scripts. I have heard some people refer to systemd as not very linux-esque - can someone comment on what that might mean?

I can't imagine why this didn't get more traction.

There are quite a few choices of lightweight Linux distro. This isn't aimed at that market
Oh, I know, but I've been happily using CentOS 6 on my 128MB box, and was looking forward to CentOS 7.

Woo. Have been using the RHEL 7 Amazon AMI images, and it's nice not to worry about shell scripts / custom supervisord stuff for your web services anymore. My node app is deployed with a single `myapp.service` file thanks to systemd: [Service] ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/node --harmony /var/www/myapp/server.js Restart=always User=nobody Group=nobody Environment=PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin Environment=NODE_ENV=productio…

systemd's declarative unit file syntax is easier to reason with, but comes at the expense of having to memorize a ton of options and being fundamentally dependent on the toolbox provided to you by systemd, since you can't code your way out of unconventional corner cases as easily.
The unit file syntax isn't the reason people complain, though.
I've never used RHEL. It doesn't seem prohibitively expensive. What advantages are there over Centos, other than support?

It looks like the listed minimum for RHEL 6 was 1gb[1]. I don't think 128 was officially supported even then, so if you're happy with how it works now, you may still be happy with 7. 1) http://www.slac.stanford.edu/comp/unix/linux/install_RHEL6.h...

That said I'm somewhat on the fence about firewalld in a server context - the zones are really designed around mobile computing use-cases, and I'm not a fan of xml as a configuration language.

As such, the only advantage RHEL probably offers next to support are slightly faster updates.
