Puppy Linux is interesting. I used it for awhile and liked that it was fast, and fun. A bit lacking in software, but with the Slacko packages you can make it better. My main concern about it was that it logs you in as root (without even a password). A lot of people have expressed concern about this apparent security hole, but Puppyistas are insistent that it's no problem. I remain somewhat sceptical. Anyway, kudos to the developers for remaining systemd-free. On the other hand, I just took a look at their forum, and I was dismayed to see several posts by users practically demanding that systemd be brought into Puppy. Hopefully, the developers will resist the urge to surrender.

I'm familiar with AntiX, having used it long ago, but I hadn't realized that the latest beta is Jessie-based and systemd-free. So now I have to ask: Isn't that pretty much what we're doing here with Devuan? Perhaps I should rephrase that: In what ways is AntiX different from Devuan? And is there any possibility of collaborating with Anticapitalista (the developer)? cheers, Robert
