Huh. That's very interesting. We were just debating its worth over on 
the PCLOS forum. Or rather, someone asked if PCLOS would ever move to 
it, and debate ensued.

It was asked why no one has forked systemd, and gotten rid of the 
problem parts. Forks have been attempted at least twice that I could 
find, and neither really went anywhere. This back-adaptation from 
Knoppix may be rather more viable, since it's being done in an 
established (if small) distro.

Oh, and Knoppix's Adriane (text to speech) desktop works GREAT, except 
for the fact that I could not find a way to turn it off!!
