Yes.  Syvinit still works, but it is after all 20 years old. It's been
patched and bolted onto and jury-rigged to get it to do things that
weren't even around (or dreamt of) at its inception.  It's long past
due for a contemporary replacement.  Whatever that may be.

So, what would you all propose?  For a server?  Or for a user desktop?
Or something that fulfills both scenarios?  And why?

One of the difficulties is that there is no clear distinction between a
desktop and a server - just degrees.


Um, yes, there is. Typically different hardware (headless for starters), storage area networks, clusters, high availability, as well as different role, and so forth.
