OK, thanks for showing me up.

It doesn't seem to be hurting BSD any. Or do those projects just attract
more serious people?

Thanks for this insight.

Thank you for this insight as well.

I guess it's similar to the way I see most operating systems. For
example, most *BSD's do not have a desktop agenda. IMHO, it therefore
can be said to be a safe choice for servers.

As you said it doesn't break down that way. I apologize for thinking
desktop users are not interested in non-systemd systems.

I am happy with Debian 7 on my notebook, but I don't think I will
install 8. I am not too concerned yet.

Cheers,

Simon
