I have a lot of respect for you Tonio, as I do for many other long term Porteus users, but I can't make my life unworkable because of die hard slackware fans.
I also have a great deal of respect for you as well. Both you and fanthom rock!!! Thanks to your help, I was able to compile kertex on porteus and typeset beautiful documents on a portable usb drive/or a livecd. I customized it with many programs to typeset mathematics. I was able to use some slackbuilds and add some programs that help me in my classes.
What is the problem that we will not be able to have a livecd/usb like porteus is right now modular and apps can be added/deleted and customization
There is no problem. Nothing would change. It would be exactly the same format, only a different base. A new comer would not even realize they are using a different base.
This is where things differ, other distributions have different way of doing things, ie, how will the new devel module compare to the present one? Packages will be different there will no longer a /var/log/packages; A newcomer would not know about these changes
Of course not. They are just finding out about a great system that will run their pcs.
I hear this a lot. I am using it right now. Have done for a while. It is not as invasive as people that have never taken the time to use it think.
A regular user, ie., a normal user which turns on their pc and see their computers boot up and run would not notice it; but an experienced system admin or developer who builds desktops will notice it and its intrusions. Newer programs depend on it and will not run or will run with many changes and *isms to get their desktops working. This is what will be avoided if you use Arch because it uses that by default and not waste time building desktops. I understand this and understand your frustrations.
I have no opinion on systemd, I haven't looked at it at all....these Arch distros don't seem to boot very fast with systemd....could be my lil netbook though Porteus boots much faster....Porteus/Slitaz flies.
I unfortunately have an opinion on systemd, and that it is not as fast as it was before. If you can find some resources online, I used Fedora and Fedora 20 booted faster than Fedora 22 and I skipped Fedora 21, they removed a readahed stuff that was replaced by some systemd* stuff.
I will put some links on another fellow that runs Fedora and tests new Red Hat Technology and his viewpoints on systemd

He is a power user and he definitely knows what posts. I am not a newbie but not a power user as he is. Also users are invited to see the biggest myths refered to on one of previous pages:

arguing about the advantages and disadvantages of what does not understand
You are right on this one! I am a mere mortal and cant understand that pile of code called systemd
Peace to all.
Wish it were that simple! And like you pointed out religious wars and regime change prevalent in the world, wars for no apparent good reason other than to oppress people or 4 money. We donț like your president so lets put another person that we like in there[take a look at some countries in our world
today]. They are
in many places using drones instead of people. I agree friend. It is what it is; unfortunately
.
it's refusal to do what I want it to do.....much like apt-get....and a lot of women....they just don't listen.
Very true roadie
That is a problem we have. Just like the government in many countries too!
Now a bigger question to Brokenman. Will you release an x86_64 iso or an i686 one? Under 200 MB? or 300 MB? as you had previously discussed?
