Hello, golinux,

First of all, thank you for responding to me.

I think there was a misunderstanding here. Perhaps my English is bad,
and I wasn’t able to express myself properly. The truth is, I am NOT in
any rush. I only came to announce the release of the stable version,
while on the previous occasion, I announced the release of RC2. These
were two different events, not repeated insistence on the same release.

Furthermore, in my previous email, I don’t believe I suggested its
inclusion in the derivatives list. In any case, I did say that "it would
be an honor," which means I wasn’t requesting it—I said it with empathy. :-)

I don’t play with toys either. Quirinux has its own history:
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirinux
<https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirinux>
This is a distribution we started in 2019, basing it on Debian:
https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/Quirinux
<https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/Quirinux>

I’ve only come to announce the release of the first stable version of
our distro based on Devuan, which is obviously not intended for Devuan
users. Devuan users use Devuan and write their emails in plain text, and
that’s perfectly fine. Quirinux is for animated film creators, although
that doesn’t make it any less of a Devuan derivative—just like so many
others that are not designed for those of us who are programmers or
system administrators. Quirinux is a typical niche distribution designed
for communities that have plenty of patience when it comes to writing...
and responding ;-). It’s for users who are not coming from GNU/Linux,
who are migrating to free software from Windows or Mac, and who thought
there was no life beyond Adobe. Users who are probably not on this
mailing list, though they might eventually visit the Devuan website.

I’m sorry if I caused any kind of inconvenience, but I wanted to clarify
that there’s no impatience here or anything like that—just the happiness
of letting you know that, thanks to Devuan XFCE, Quirinux can now be
installed on Dual Core machines with 2 GB of RAM and and Mac computers
made obsolete by Apple (with Intel processors), working perfectly for
creating animated films, something we couldn’t achieve with Debian (at
least for this new Quirinux 2.0 version).

So we’re very grateful to Devuan; I just wanted to let you know that.
Best regards.

Charlie
