What's the state of Systemd-free variant distros?
Are there any that closely follow others' updates or layer repos ?
Slackware just released 14.2 a couple months back. Not sure what you
mean in the second sentence. Package versions here:
http://www.slackware.com/releasenotes/packages14.2.php
Perl version: PACKAGE NAME: perl-5.22.2-i586-1.txz
The way he does security updates is different than Debian. There seems
to be a case by case judgement call but for many things, firefox for
instance, you often get version updates before the next release via
the security updates.
The only thing I kind of dislike about slackware is the directory
structure in the 64 bit version. Libraries go into /lib64 and
/usr/lib64. Obviously this is a pretty petty criticism, but not really
needing multilib I find it annoying to have these directory names. I
prefer OpenBSD's approach, which is to not bother with multilib and have
simple expected names like /usr/lib and /lib.
Fedora and RHEL are the same way. That is because they fully support
both 64-bit and 32 bit libraries and applications.
