so easy

Took me nearly three hours to recover a broken systemd boot process with OpenSUSE. Would have been soooooooo much easier and quicker if it would tell me what the heck it is trying to do and what failed. :-! But no it would be much to easy to tell LVM has a missing symbol and cannot do anything. But it must be my ignorance to not understand such messages:
Reached target System Initialization.
A start job is running for device

After I got a recovery console without anything that would let me recover a system I was looking for an old Slackware CD, vgchange -ay, mounting, chroot, reinstall some lvm packages, reboot, finished.

In my experience, most of them do, they just don't advertise it.  I've never had a host refuse a request for a distro they don't advertise, unless you're talking the under $5 ultra-economy hosts or OpenVZ - though they don't tend to offer it with monthly billing, you'll pay quarterly or six monthly.

BSD might be a different matter, but you can generally get a Linux of your choice whatever it is.
