Debian. > If you need a Debian derivative without systemd to use until Devuan reaches a more stable state, there is still a choice.

I've been using this distro, now MX-14.4, since it was released in April-2014. The developers have stated in the forum that their aim is to maintain MX-15 based on a mixture of Jessie and sysvinit planned for release in August or so. I have seen mention of Devuan in the forum. Hopefully, in the future, it will be based on Devuan. Regards, Richard.
