Hi all,

    Ditto on not being a member of the "everyone" group and I appreciate
the suggestions provided for a DE on this excellent thread.

    Also moved to WindowMaker when my desktop was wheezy and on last
check it is still beautiful.

    Some guys have been coming up with a live cd:-
http://wmlive.sourceforge.net/

    Thanks,

    Yves

Me too. When Gnome 3 came out, I went elsewhere. But...

In fact, having Gnome is one of the "Litmus tests" many people use in
evaluating whether to go to a distro. If Devuan's Gnome really has no
risk of "stealth systemd sneakback", then it's a wonderful asset for
Devuan to have, and having it eliminates a big hunk of explanation
that
we would have had to make.

And Jaret, we all know that depoetterizing Gnome wasn't easy. Daniel
Robbins went all out to praise the Funtoo developer who depoetterized
it for Funtoo.
