Looking for Alternatives to Systemd

The introduction and acceptance, often without much debate or end user involvement, of the systemd daemon into most Linux distributions over the last 1 1/2 years or so is a reality, and I'm not planning to take sides here or rehash any flame wars. As far as I'm concerned, the battle has been fought and the choices are clear. Why is that important to you and me? If you have even only one computer and are responsible for maintaining it then you're a System Administrator.

Linux light - SliTaz GNU/Linux and SliTaz-Aircrack-ng

Once upon a time there was DSL (Damn Small Linux) which provided a full workable system in a 50 MB image. I used to have it on a small partition for repair and rescue tasks on my desktops. It was never or at least very rarely needed as I recall, but I liked the pre-set radio stations in XMMS and the backgrounds and conky config in DSL, so I ended up running it more and more over Zenwalk 2.6, which at the time was using a very half-baked early XFCE 4.4, if only to listen to internet radio on a geeky minimalistic looking box.

Trisquel GNU/Linux - Free Software and Gorgeous

Welcome to Trisquel GNU/Linux! I've been wanting to write this for a long time, because trying this distribution really feels inviting. Trisquel GNU/Linux is as you can see by the naming convention one of the few distributions fully endorsed by the Free Software Foundation, and in return they're doing a lot to promote the FSF and their principles on their website. If you're yawning already, hold steady and read on, because Trisquel looks sharp and has something to offer.

A look at the development of Kongoni GNU/Linux

This is just a reposting of the 'A week or two with Kongoni GNU/Linux' article published on Tuxmachines 18/07/2010. I wanted to take the opportunity to showcase a few more screenshots to illustrate the hard drive installer, still fairly basic, and the Ports Installation Gui (PIG) most of all. There are two shots showing it updating the tree and then rebuilding it. Also to show off IceCat now as the default browser. Is it replacing Iceweasel as the FOSS alternative or do they exist in parallel?
