   I took the exact same path.  FWIW, I really enjoyed Mandrake for a    
   few years until it went to crap.  Been on Slack since then.   
      
    CH> Is it true Slackware is still systemd free?   
      
   Yes, it is free of that garbage, and likely always will be.   
      
    CH> Or do I have to use Devuan for that.   
      
   I test-drove Devuan and found it not ready for prime time.  Maybe    
   it will get there eventually.   
      
   One other non-systemd distro that I like a LOT is 'MX Linux'.     
   It's also Debian based and quite nice.
