News from the Devuan (Debian fork) camp
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 . . .
May the FORK be with you!

Don't follow mailing lists or anything so thanks for the updates golinux, really appreciated.
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.And a Puppy Linux build profile coming up by Dimkr!
800mhz, 512mb ram, dCore-jessie (Tiny Core with Debian Jessie packages) with BusyBox and Fluxbox.
Most don't have computer access, reuse or pay forward an old computer.

The release I am waiting for.. That other one on the 25th came and went without fanfare except from MIcrosoft.
Re: News from the Devuan (Debian fork) camp
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:
which is NOT a powerful GPU, but still, my computer is responsive.

The worst infection of all, is a false sense of security!
It is hard to get away from CLI tools.

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!
