It didn't occur to me until I read this, but maybe I ought to try
just "leap-frogging" over Ascii/Stretch, and go straight to Beowulf/Buster.
My issues with Kmail and my wireless interface might be specific to
Ascii/Stretch, whereas I was supposing that it is some change that will
affect whatever Debian-type system I try to install.
Usually I go straight through the distros one after another, in the hope that
changes to familiar packages will be gradual.

If Debian does indeed run with sysvinit and no fussing round trying to
uninstall systemd, etc. (which gave me lots of grief), then I may give
this a try whenever next I need to reinstall ... which might be a while,
because, like I said, it has been running great, or almost great.
That will probably never happen. Debian is not only to drop sysv support
sooner or later, it will drop all support for anything else than systemd.
I do want to upgrade to Ascii or Buster, at
least, so that I get current
security patches. Otherwise I wouldn't bother you guys with my problems.
I'm running Devuan Beowulf, it's perfeorming verry nicely. Even LinuxCNC
works well :-)
