The antiX Linux project announced version 17 of its distribution:

The developers of the Debian-based antiX GNU/Linux distribution announced the release of antiX 17, dubbed "Heather Heyer" and based on the Debian GNU/Linux 9.2 "Stretch" operating system.

antiX 17 follows the trend of previous versions to offer users an operating system that does not include the widely used systemd init system. With this release, Gentoo's eudev device file manager for the Linux kernel is used by default instead of udev.

Source: Softpedia News

Eudev is a fork of udev, made by the Gentoo project to avoid dependency on systemd.

Also at It's Foss and Distrowatch.

    Gentoo/MATE.

    It has udev, not eudev, but no systemd.

    PCLinuxOS/Trinity Desktop Environment — similarly, has udev without systemd.

    (I'd be alternating between MATE and TDE, but losing the ability to customize window colors beyond the GTK themes was a deal-breaker.)

      Ah yes, TDE. The continuation of Qt3 and KDE3. Been meaning to install that since forever...
