Hi Arshad,

if you have no restriction for Debian 6 only then you can try CentOS 6.

CentOS 6 has similar packages" version to Debian 6 and it"s still supported.

Kind regards

Georgi

If it is systemd you are trying to avoid and you start with 6 the upgrade to 7

is safe.  It works like a cheetah and it still gets all security upgrades till late '18

If you make the mistake and go to Jessie from there, either you accept 

systemd or you will be broken, but you can always upgrade from 7 to

Devuan.

To tell my honest story from bouncing around and trying stuff, Manjaro OpenRC

for me seems bulletproof.  I am writing now from a tortured ManjOpenrc with

kernels up to 4.12.2 and it is solid.

My experience with Debian trying to avoid systemd has send it down the tubes

of my respect.  I hate to admit it, but I gave it one hell of a try and it failed me.
