Bug#727708: Bits from linux.conf.au
There was a talk on January 08, 2014 at linux.conf.au Linux conference by Marc Merlin, Google server
sysadmin and software engineer.
Quoting the description [1]:
> This talk will look at how we upgraded our ancient linux distribution on all the Google production
> servers to a more modern one based on debian stripped down and built from source.
In his talk [2] at 13:50 Marc briefly touched the init system choice question. Perhaps it's worth taking
into account.
