This is on an 11 year old Apple Imac, slim would not play nicely at all
when I did the upgrade from debian wheezy to devuan jessie, left me with
a black screen.

After many weeks of jessie it seems like a good time to move on to ascii.

I have decided to keep to a minimal setup set up so I am using lilo,
xdm, twm, ctwm. No fancy stuff at all.

I had to install lua and then create the symlink from /usr/bin/lua to
/usr/bin/lua5.3 to get the convert.lua script to work for converting an
old .conkyrc script to the new lua version.

The upgrade messed up ctwm by leaving me without the
/etc/X11/ctwm/system.ctwmrc file. The menudefs.hooks for both twm and
ctwm got messed up too. Nothing I can't fix.


I am still using debian unstable on my laptop, it rarely breaks. The
last time I tried devaun unstable it was a nightmare! Would I be correct
in assuming that with the work needed to get rid of systemd dependencies
devaun unstable will stay 'unstable' for normal users?
