I stand at the brink of Devuan, not quite ready to take the plunge myself, yet share in your dislike of systemd and how Debian is inching into a rule of the few over the many. And I fear that it will soon drift into the same kind of crap that ruined Kubuntu (and the whole Ubuntu family) for me. There are just one or two refinements I want to make in my current system (so that I can find my way back when I get into a mess).

I'm sorry to hear you have systemd installed and you're not happy with it, if I knew what version you are using I could make a suggestion, I run all LTS versions or Debian and Ubuntu and now Devuan too. For hard drive management I use Wheezy and Jessie, for multimedia I use the latest. Currently I'm looking at keeping some older systems around by rolling my own kernels. There's always options. And slicing off another partition for a new install is another option.

As for Ubuntu, they have messed up big-time and now they are on my list of things I don't want to do anymore and now Microsoft won't be lonely any more. :)

The icon is nice, but I would recommend that all Devuan branding distinguish itself from Debian by making the spiral go round widdershins: that is, counter-clockwise. Then it would be perfect.

I hear you, it was just something I slapped together.

You do know that Devuan IS Debian don't you? The only changes made effect systemd and the packages needed so you can install the desktop of choice, like udev and libpam, really just a hand full of packages are changed. I'm running Devuan from Debian's Sid to Jessie, in other words Devuan Jessie, ASCII, Beowulf and Ceres and Trinity is a clean install on them all with no real problem, All around Devuan Jessie is the best!

Bill just take away one thing from this post: If it's not fun don't do it.

Cheers!
