Geeking Out 0

Devuan v. 1 with the XFCE desktop environment in VirtualBox on Slackware –Current. Peeking out from behind Devuan is a virtual machine of Windows 7, on which QMMP is playing music from KCEA (KCEA doesn’t rock; it swings).

Devuan has reached a full release version, though the beta was a darned find piece of work. I upgraded from the beta using the commands

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get autoclean
apt-get autoremove

In case you don’t know (and there is a good chance you don’t unless you are in my Linux World), Devuan is a fork of Debian without SystemD. It still uses SystemV, because many folks have issues (mostly philosophical because SystemD, however annoying it can be, does indeed work) with SystemD.

Give it a try. It installs like butter.

H/T to SystemAU (NSFW–those Aussies swear bigly) for informing me that Devuan was out of beta.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
