Just a little update on systemd, since it played a role in this post...
Devuan (Debian fork) is expecting a systemd free version of Jessie to be
released sometime this summer...
antiX (based on Debian), is currently working on a systemd free version of
Jessie. Uses nonfree, however, they provide instructions on how to
remove/purge the programs and block them so the system is "free/libre"...
Manjaro (based on Arch) offers a version with openRC instead of systemd.
Slackware has no plans on adding systemd, Gentoo gives the user the option of
using it or not....FreeBSD no systemd..
gNewSense not systemd...for now...
