Yes, I'd fall in love with it immediately.
In fact, I use Slackware 9.1 on my desktop machine. It uses a BSD-style=20
init (I hate SysV! Symlinking to tables an giving the links cryptic=20
names! I just don't get why Sun, SGI and whoever else was using BSD as=20
their system's foundation, switched over to SysV...).
There is CRUX, which I have not tried, but it has BSD-style init and a=20
ports-system, too. In fact, I understand there *are no* binary-packages=20
for CRUX. And the ports-system, IIRC, does not use dependencies.
As soon as I get a flatrate, I'm going to give it a try.

Don't make fun of the mighty HURD! Once it's finished, it'll surely=20
rock. Sure, we might not get to see the day. Neither might our=20
children. But our grandchildren, perhaps, or their children. One day,=20
mankind will rejoice... ;-)

kind regards,
