For Devuan Jessie, the name was identical to Debian, but with another
meaning - it means minor planet Jessie (nr.10464).

Cheers I recently migrated from Debian Jessie to the
Devuan Jessie-Beowulf
merged version. My problem is, now I cannot turn off my network, nor
control the connection at all. I was using the network-manager-tde
package, which has always worked just fine for me. I've tried all the
other network managers, and don't like how they behave. In
particular, I want to set my network so that it never connects
automatically, and will only connect manually.
Devuan Jessie works well but is based on Debian Jessie which is moving
into LTS.
Devuan Ascii works well and is based on Debian Stretch and is well
supported.
Devuan Beowulf is in development based on Debian Buster in development.
I don't know what you mean by "Devuan Jessie-Beowulf merged version".
I would not recommend Jessie as it is moving to LTS. I would not
recommend Beowulf at this time except to bleeding edge users who are
comfortable fixing any problems they might encounter. I would suggest
you start with a working Devuan Ascii before thinking about TDE PSB.

Sorry, that's totally my mistake.
I've been running Debian for about a year now, but I've only been
running Devuan for about a week. I am not familiar with what Devuan
names correspond to the naming in Debian. I know that Devuan Ascii
corresponds to Debian Stretch, and somewhere I thought I remembered
that Beowulf corresponded to Jessie. Apparently they did not change the
name for Jessie?
At the time I was only sporadically online, had no list at hand to
check, and no browsers installed so that I could look it up online.
In any case, I believe I have solved my network issues (or at least
found a workaround). There are some deeper issues that I will bring up
in another thread.
