Thanks, but I already know this link. Nevertheless, compiling everything is quit power consuming and takes a lot of time. And you need another computer for this to be done. That said, generally speaking I love Gentoo, but I'm still not sure if I really want it on my Pi. Maybe I'll reconsider this once. > Aha, so it's not enough that there are distros *right now* that let you avoid > systemd (e.g., Gentoo, Funtoo, Devuan, Knoppix), it has to be one of *those > particular* distros. You forgot Slackware. No that's not enough, because at least Gentoo and Funtoo are not for beginners. Well, I'm not a beginner, but I would like to have a distro without systemd which can be used by beginners. Well, maybe Devuan will be such a distro. There's another reason. In my opinion there should always be a choice, not only between the distros but between the software. And different distros follow different goals. And there's always this silly argument by these Poettering fanboys, that they don't force systemd onto anybody, and that's always possible to switch from systemd to another init system. Then this must be possible under - at least - almost every distro. As you can see, even the Poettering fanboys here refuse to explain how this can be done. Obviously they don't admit that they are proven wrong by this. Btw., I hope that the Devuan people once will make a release for the Pi, too. Heiko Baums
