News from the Devuan (Debian fork) camp

Today Jaromil posted Devuan's first trimester 2015 financial report with a brief progress update. Press release coming rather soon I think. Very encouraging . . .

Don't follow mailing lists or anything so thanks for the updates golinux, really appreciated.

And a Puppy Linux build profile coming up by Dimkr!

Caught my eye. For the most part, BusyBox distributions keep trucking, compiling from source and grabbing older software if necessary. Of course systemd causes limitations, you'll never see a Puppy Linux release featuring GNOME desktop, but otherwise keep on, keepin' on.

The release I am waiting for.. That other one on the 25th came and went without fanfare except from MIcrosoft.

Since I installed Devuan, I never stopped using it. It reminds me of the great quality I used to enjoy back in the days when I used Sarge, Etch and Lenny but with a much improved desktop experience. I am using XFCE4 with COMPOSITING enabled:

Code: Select all

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

which is NOT a powerful GPU, but still, my computer is responsive.

Long Life Software Freedom and Choice!

I'll still use the systemd-infested Debian on my laptop. But I would loved to use a final release of Devuan on my desktop. Still waiting!
