Fedora seems to have been using systemd by default for the last version or two; I believe they have working Trinity packages. OpenSuSE has one (very minor) bug filed against the KDE3/systemd combination: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2011-12/msg01977.html Most of what systemd does is likely to be at a level of the system that's lower than what Trinity needs to concern itself with. systemd/sysv incompatibilities seem to be mostly at the level of init script syntax, which I don't think we need to worry about.
