Well, Gentoo is for sure quite a different beast compared to Fedora, |
8 |
Debian or Ubuntu. |

I don't think so, that many people are going to switch to Gentoo just |
11 |
because of Systemd, because of the differences between Gentoo and e.g. |
12 |
Debian. |
13 |
|
14 |
All other major distros are: binary distributed (timesaver!), have a |
15 |
steady release cycle (contrary to Gentoo's rolling upgrade) and each |
16 |
version has a documented feature set. |
17 |
|
18 |
Especially in server environments many people don't want to compile |
19 |
their stuff on production environment and have a rolling upgrade |
20 |
distribution. And especially in server environments there seems to be |
21 |
the biggest resistance against systemd. |
22 |
|
23 |
So naturally they would look for something that has a steady release |
24 |
cycle and is binary distributed, without systemd. |

E.g. Slackware or FreeBSD does fit that niche. |
