Thanks for mentioning Calculate Linux. While waiting for Devuan to be
released, I've been looking for something else non-systemd to play with. At
the moment, I'm getting by with antiX, but Calculate could be interesting.
I'm downloading Calculate right now, and at some point I'll write up my
experience with it

Again, still hoping to see a Devuan beta soon. Also waiting for a
devastating zero-day exploit that will leave the systemd tribe with egg on
their faces...not that I'd really want to see that, cough, cough.

cheers,
Robert
