The devs and admins seem to know what they are doing, and only lack resources and time. Other forks look rather amateurish by comparison, but Devuan looks almost like an exact clone of all the best about Debian (namely, stability, and control for the user), and gets rid of the questionable stuff like systemd and dbus. Still, I tried Devuan a couple times already, and had issues, and am preparing to give it another go. If I were attempting to do this in another language, I would have problems. (And German would come about #12 on my list.) Bill > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > trinity-users-unsubscribe@...
