Hi Robert and list,


I've been reading this list since the beginning. Felt the need to reply to
this, but it's only a "Me too!".

The Raspberry foundation has stated already that they will adopt Jessie
as-is, with systemd. Discussion of systemd on the forum is frowned upon.
Most threads got closed fairly fast.

I would love to see Devan on ARM, or Devuan on Raspberri Pi. Mine are
running Raspbian too, although I've been trying out Kali and a couple of
others too. Kali seems to be one of the distro's that rejected systemd too.

I'm waiting for the dust to clear after the launch of the Pi 2 to buy one.
Setting up a Devuan testbed on the Pi would be a very worthwhile cause.


Cheers,


Wim
