  1. There are a lot of systemd-free options out there by FreeUser · · Score: 3, Informative · on Linux 4.1 Kernel Released With EXT4 Encryption, Performance Improvements

    Which distro are you using that isn't already infected by systemd? I'm SO glad Gentoo still allows me to use OpenRC...

    Me too! I use both funtoo and gentoo, at work and at home, but here's a pretty good sized list of options for those who like debian, arch, and other distributions:

    If you're stuck with Red Hat, your choices have been pretty much taken from you, and you should probably be looking to change to something else, but otherwise you probably have the choice of using OpenRC or upstart, and someone has probably already figured out how for you.

    Time to move to Slackware then? Or pick another: http://without-systemd.org/wik...

    Until systemd is removed from a major Linux distro, I would consider that distro to be less secure than even a Windows system.

    Some Poettering apologist will probably mark you as a troll, but for completeness there are a number of distros that default to non-systemd init architectures, including but not limited to

    Calculate, Gentoo, Funtoo, Source Mage, Dyson, indeed all kinds of distros either default or support running a systemd-free system.

  4. Why switch? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Ask Slashdot: Migrating a Router From Linux To *BSD?

    If it was me, then I'd just use Debian or Ubuntu Server and install sysvinit and remove systemd.

  6. Re:Forking is good, whiny bitches by Eunuchswear · · Score: 1 · on Debian Forked Over Systemd

    The motivation is to have a Linux distribution which [...] doesn't require systemd.

    That's called Debian.

    From the wiki that is linked on the ugly website:

    http://without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_remove_systemd_from_a_Debian_jessie/sid_installation

    First install a good init system

    # apt-get install sysvinit-core sysvinit sysvinit-utils

    Then reboot your machine and remove all the systemd crap

    # apt-get remove --purge --auto-remove systemd

    To keep systemd away from your system you should prevent the package from being installed again.

    # echo -e "Package: systemd\nPin: origin ""\nPin-Priority: -1" > /etc/apt/preferences.d/systemd

    That's worth a fork? Three shell commands?
