The choice isn't binary: sysvinit or systemd. There is a third way. I'm not much of a sysadmin, but I'm intrigued when I read of daemontools and its ilk.

There's also http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jonathan.deboynepollard/Softwar... - a daemontools compatible, partially-systemd compatible init system.

There are many more than 3 init systems. There are tens of them.

I meant three families, but you still may be right.

Where does upstart stand in this? That's what I've used so far.

It is dead and gone, Canonical/Ubuntu abandoned it after Debian chose systemd and then Ubuntu did too.

There are dozens of us!!
