>>     Hi folks.

>>     Considering Devuan is a major lifeboat of free Linux-based OS, I'm

>>     1) It is clear, by reading this list that part of us are mostly

>>     It is perfectly arguable that people involved in servers' deployment

>>     Macintosh is definitely for these guys, first of all because its VM

>> more I think of it the more sense it makes to me, although it is not my way.

>>     Gnome and KDE are aiming to produce a free equivalent of the Mac. OK,
>> they're dropping freedom in the way, but they will produce at least
>> desktops you don't have to pay for. They may eventually pull the carpet
>> under the feet of Apple some day ... or not.

>>     2) I also read that there are people who want to truely own their
>> desktop. Some call them sentimentalists, but they are the people from and
>> for wich free software arised.

>>     To summarize, I see two populations in the audience of Devuan, with
>> slightly different motivations (I find myself in both):
>>         1) Servers' admins, who have professionnal concerns about
>> security and productivity and don't necessary care of the desktop,
>>         2) DIY (and FIY ;-) ) addicts who want whole control on their
>> desktop.

>>     This all comes from reading you guys during the past month, including
>> Mr "FUCK FUCK FUCK" :-). But maybe I missed some people.
