=================================================
This is the repo of the trios gnu linux distro -
http://trios.rs/They have a great debian respin that uses openrc and is free of systemd.
This repo currently only has amd64 packages
- Code:
deb http://mirror.org.rs/trios/ mia non-systemd main
Looks like they have added a repo that has both i386 and amd64 packages
- Code:
deb http://mirror.org.rs/trios/ mia non-systemd-testing main
=================================================
This repo was created by Adam Borowski who is a debian devel.
This repo has both amd64 and i386 packages
- Code:
deb http://angband.pl/debian/ nosystemd main
=================================================
Either one of these seem to work very well with stock debian jessie install images.

*ignore*
notes to self
mount no longer wants/needs -t when setting up chroot
grub seems to need --force to install to /dev/sda

If you don't mind i will try to post it in the how-to section, asap.
thanks for it, btw (not that sure if i will go for anything close to Debian in the future, but in case i will ... ).
K, i couldn't hesitate, have a look if it is fine ( i will sleep now, or at least shake my ding a bit):

nnot being able to simply type etc in a path suck quite a bit. With more vim foo i could replace them all in a row, but i don't do it often enough to get my head into it, so i just do it manually.
Yeah, now i remember: back then you changed posts three times in 5 minutes. Feeling nomadic, huh?
You using a BSD version, btw? If yes, please comment a bit.

I am using openbsd. I don't know how to describe it. It seems very correct, very organized, structured. It is simple yet flexible. So far I have been lazy and stuck to installing binary packages using pkg rather than turning to ports. The binary packages are crufty/bloated but for now I still get to play and learn so good enough. I like how it doesn't install a package and do this and this and this but rather echos a message to the terminal and says if you want such and such then you can do this and this and this. So far I like it a lot...

if anyone has the ability to mirror these repos...might be a good idea...

Thanks for the feedback about BSD (OpenBSD).
I got it in mind, but for now am happy with Gentoo. Still i think about giving it a try, now and then.
mirroring: I guess i could do that, but don't know how. Not too sure i want it ... if it is desperately needed *and* someone tells me how to do it, i wouldn't hesitate.
I went to the webpage of Trios. It seems to be a distro, but i can't find a iso to download. The website seems to be eastern european language, perhaps Polish, hence i am a bit lost.

Yea trios is a bit confusing. Right now I think they are getting everything ready to release a new iso. Scroll to the bottom of the page....blue square is the forum...green square is the download...
I just thought someone might mirror the repo so that we could pull from that instead of burning up trios server/bandwidth. Then again it isn't much traffic anyway so probably not a big deal.
I have never even tried gentoo. If I have to compile something then it isn't for me. Too lazy... But if you have something that works for you then, honestly, it is as good as anything else.

Ah, ok. Let me try to download an iso when i am in the mood.
I barely feel i would compile anything. I do "emerge name-of-package" and then have to wait (which is a bit of a pain, but when used to its not a biggie anymore). I got no good arguments why one should use it neither. It doesn't come with systemd and the userbase seems ok (well informed and openminded), but that's about it. I don't care for fine-grained control of "packages". (didn't even fool much with --no-install-recommends). funtoo seems similar and the users seem to be even more fun.
I pretty much like the kiss approach of BSD systems. In the past they have been too kiss for me, but if i see the opposite, what Debian is right now, then i prefer that. Thing is: the users usually don't look much like fun. Farts without humor.
