"Having had several issues with systemd, and really not liking the philosophy behind it, I am looking into alternatives. I really prefer something that follows the Unix philosophy of using small, focused, and independent tools, with a clear interface. Unfortunately, my favourite distro, Arch Linux, is very much pro-systemd, and a discussion of alternatives is liable to get you banned for a month from their forums. There is an effort to support openrc, but it is still in its infancy and without much support.

So, what are the alternatives, besides Gentoo? Preferably binary... I'd rather have something like arch, with quick updates, cutting edge, but I've already used a lot in the past Mandrake, RedHat, SourceMage, Debian, Kubuntu, and so on, so the package format or the package management differences don't scare me."

[ED Note: I'm imagining FreeBSD sitting in the room with the all the Linux distros he mentioned being utterly ignored like Canada in Hetalia.]

    That was wierd, my comment doesn't appear under the comment to which I replied...
    I was trying to respond to gallondr00nk.
    Lets see if this shows up as a sub of the correct comment (in which case I messed up somehow, a very likely possibility :) )

    This should be linked to http://dev.soylentnews.org/comments.pl?sid=301&cid=758 8 [dev.soylentnews.org]
