Hi,
I saw in the last few weeks discussion about newer distros switching to systemd, and some persons here says they would use another distro to avoid systemd at all.
PCLinuxOS doesn't use systemd and have recent kernel, now at 3.16.xx, and it still has HAL, so it might be a good alternative for users who prefer classic startup sysvinit systems. Texstar, the one at the head of PCLinuxOS also said that he will stay away of systemd for as long as he is not forced to use it.
By the way, I will release in the next few days the new version of my PCLinuxOS non-official TDE remaster. It will still be based on super stable TDE 3.5.13.2, with the PCLinuxOS better than average user friendliness and hardware support, plus updated graphic style and less fat. Stay tuned! :)
Thank you! -Alexandre

Hi Alexandre Nice to hear that we get an update. The previous " monster - version " ( GRIN ) works pretty well, but when I tried to update last month, I ran into trouble ! Otherwise....just great. Thanks Tony

Debian has been accused of a lot of things in the last few months because of systemd, many of them derogatory, but this is the first time that I have seen it called "newer". ;-)

Yes you're right on this Lisi! By ''newer'', I'm talking about distros using newer technologies. But this release of Debian with systemd (Jessie) is not even released yet, so I guess I can consider it to be newer :)
Have a nice day! -Alexandre
