then, I guess Gentoo is the only distro left that hasn't adopted

to Debian, but no joy.
If you're really that unhappy about such things as systemd, there's nothing
to stop you from rolling your own distro. Start with Linux from Scratch (The
Wikipedia article still shows it using Sysvinit.) put in what you think an
"old-school" linux should have and call it Steampunk Linux to grab a bit of
glamour and avoid looking like you're just unwilling to accept progress.
(Not that I'm accusing you of that; from what I can see, you just don't
consider systemd to *be* progress.) Who knows? It might even be popular.
Heh. The reminds me of the head of TSA, I think it was, saying that if people didn't like having their genitals fondled, then they were free to walk from New York to San Francisco -- the didn't *have* to fly.
Yeah, I know. Thanks for that useful suggestion.
