Re: operarting systems without systemd
Why no mention of the systemd-less version of Jessie that fsmithred has put together?
May the FORK be with you!

Re: operating systems without systemd
it is in the list.
no?
under "Debian based", second paragraph. If i am wrong let me know (pretty confused tonight ....)
You (or anyone) can of course either a) tell me what to add or remove to the OP list or b) post your own list in this thread (say: what are good solutions to you. Would seem pointless to duplicate the above list - duh).

It is also possible to run Arch without systemd

Re: operating systems without systemd
arch equals obscure, in my bookI didn't mention rather obscure solutions like haiku, plan9, inferno, etc.
kidding aside:
from the link you gave.As you say, alternative init systems like runit, cinit, openrc aren't trivial to implement in Arch, so people generally leave Arch for another distro if they're unhappy with systemd.

Re: operating systems without systemd
Just to clarify, antiX-svsVinit has libsystemd0 (for the moment, hope to get rid of it)
Added: Got rid of it so antiX-14/15 sysvinit will be 99% systemd free (only udev remains)

antiX with runit - lean and mean.

Re: operating systems without systemd
The best thing will be for Debian to release Jessie with and without systemd. Now that will be really freedom a la Debian.

Re: operating systems without systemd
I added Void Linux
I don't understand the second sentence (neither why any distro with busybox would *not* come with systemd, nor now to know in advance if a distro comes with busybox. Or, truth to be told, what exactly busybox is. Looked always to me like a pretty minimal shell environment, which . used if something goes south during boot, which,as far it's me, was pretty much never)
If you care to explain that a bit more detailed: thanks in advance.

I didn't add puppy linux, because to me it looked abandoned. If i shall add it, iow: if it makes sense to add it, i will do.
It is not supposed to be a list of distros or OS i like or prefer. Just a list for people who want to avoid systemd.
But it is also supposed to make sense (no outstanding obscure solutions, say Windows7, and no distros out of date, abandoned)

Re: operating systems without systemd
I don't think Puppy has been abandoned. However, it is not a "normal" distro -- in Puppy you are always root. Personally, I'd use it as a live CD only.fruitofloom wrote: I didn't add puppy linux, because to me it looked abandoned. If i shall add it, iow: if it makes sense to add it, i will do.

Re: operating systems without systemd
Ok, thanks. I will add it to the list.
I recall something when i tried to put putty on raspberry pi. Perhaps me recalling "abandon" is related to that. I checked at wikipedia, the last release is quite a while ago, but that's all i can figure out.
What i can say about putty is that it ran on pretty any hardware i tried (where other distros failed. antiX always was quite reliable too). I never used it for something serious though.

Re: operating systems without systemd
For the more adventurous, you should mention Minix 3.3.0.
http://www.minix3.org/
Its most recent version is stated to be "largely compatible with NetBSD and runs thousands of NetBSD packages."
It's on my "to try out" list in case I become unable to keep my Debian install free of systemd.

Re: operating systems without systemd
crap knows where to add it.
I guess in my book it is a "rather obscure OS".
(last time i tried it, years ago, it was .weird (perhaps it simply was me not being up to me)).
But yes, i completely forgot it. Thanks
Lemme think about it, then probably make a section "others".
My favorites, btw are
Gentoo/Funtoo
Slackware
BSD
(Any of the BSD's, i don't care which one, probably FreeBSD, as i slightly know it.) That mainly is a long time solution, assuming Linux as a whole will be swallowed into Poetter-land.
All of those three are long time around, are comfortable enough and got a userbase not that small.
And refracta, mentioned above by golinux, seems to work pretty well systemd and libsystemd0 free. Just been looking at it.
As antix/anticapitalista is in touch with them, chances are high antix will get it sorted soon too.
So that are the two other favorites, advantage being that they are Debian based. Disadvantage? Well: i for one really want to set a clear sign.

You spelled it wrong. It's not "Putty" but "Puppy" (puppy = kleiner Hund).fruitofloom wrote: What i can say about putty is that it ran on pretty any hardware i tried (where other distros failed. antiX always was quite reliable too). I never used it for something serious though.

Re: operating systems without systemd
I posted this link to Linus telling off a systemd developer in the Distrowatch comments, it's good for a laugh, check it out, it's from April/14 so some of you may have read it already.
The more I read about systemd, the more I hate it, Redshat is becoming the Microslop of the Linux world, I ran to Linux to get away from this $#1+.
I just built a machine as a f%#k you to Intel and Nvidia (see sig), I'll be damned if I'm gunna have this blob of $#1+ forced down my throat too.
I downloaded PC-BSD cuz I'm a GUI-head lazy bastard, gunna check it out.
I'll be very sad when I have to say goodbye to Debian, my first real Linux only (Windows free) experience was Mepis (Debian based).
