Oh, boy. Now I have to rant on Linux and RedHat after being so happy with them for much longer than a decade. OK, the first thing I have to admit: I'm ignorant person. Please teach something... Now questions: 1. How often do you reboot your Linux servers? (every about 45 days there is either kernel or glibc update. I remember somewhere about RedHat 5 - RedHat 7 machines having uptime about 2 years) 2. All major Linux distributions either have switched to systemd or plan to do so in next release... I prefer system V init. I don't like something big handling everything when there is no reason to. And the list can go on... But there are changes I really like (to keep the balance...). Such as switching to XFS as to default fs! And BTW, I was extremely happy I went with RedHat/CentOS when my debian friend sysadmin was re-creating all keys and certificates (and rebuilding systems) after known random number generator flop debian had... So, please, teach me something: how do I build enterprise level server based CentOS 7 which I'll be able to run 1-2 years without reboot (I did apologize already for being ignorant person ;-) Thanks.
