suckless distro, doesn't have kernel/bootloader instructions, probably too technical, probably without other applications.

Instructions on getting Lubuntu (desktop) working for the CubieTruck.
NOTE - These instructions will wipe your MicroSD card!

I don't know if this version of Lubuntu, or whatever it turns into when updated, has systemd. I'm going to say no because 14.10 is so damned old.

A Linux distribution. A Linux system rescue disk.
- Note - If you just want to repair your boot loader, try boot-repair.

I'm sure an updated version will use systemd, as Gentoo now does.

was angstrom-distribution.org
Ångström was started by a small group of people who worked on the OpenEmbedded, OpenZaurus and OpenSimpad projects to unify their effort to make a stable and user-friendly distribution for embedded devices like handhelds, set top boxes and network-attached storage devices and more.
- Properly titled Ångström
- It's the default Linux distribution for the Pandora.
- It has/had support for the Zaurus SL-C1000, but I haven't tested it there.

Yocto Project-approved.

rogueclass.org
Rogue Class is a toy Linux distribution for playing games and reading books.
- 2019-11-17 -- It appears to be dead.
- 2015-05-11 -- Just doesn't do it for me. Too simple, no liveUSB, (requires?) burning to a CD. I have no clue if it can use Slackware packages. I guess everything has to be compiled from scratch, which I don't want to do.

2015-05-11 - The community is as tiny as it is. Last released 2014-04-05. I guess I'd have to build all applications from source, which I don't want to do any more.

2015-05-15 - No installer. No bootloader installation magic.

2016-11-04 - Although this has isohybrid and would be trivial to get on a USB stick, with such a tiny community I don't think I want to get into this.
