I can totally relate to this, it's gotten to the point that I'm just as scared of rebooting my Linux boxes as I was of rebooting my windows machine a couple of decades ago. And quite probably more scared.

The good thing about systemd or any other Linux software is that you don't have to use it, until this company gets off the ground.

I think at some point we will see a steep increase in value of old hardware that can still run unsigned binaries.

The box that I'm worried about in particular is running RedHat.

Ubuntu boxes: usually ok as long as you stay away from anything python related in the core system.
