MX Linux is a desktop distribution based on Debian's Stable branch. The
distribution ships with the Xfce desktop environment and swaps out the
systemd init software provided by Debian for the SysV init implementation.
My operating system is not Debian, it's Devuan jessie. But I wanted to test
an ascii image, since I do not exist I'm thinking about downloading and
installing MX-Linux 17 Beta1. And then synchronize it with the devuan ascii
repository.
The question was whether someone had done this before.
Best Regards

I want to download an image, but first I wanted to know if someone has
already done this test, since I have very small bandwidth, and has had no
problems when updating the system with ascii packages.
I did a debian stretch to devuan ascii upgrade, and it was the quickest
and easiest of the upgrades to ascii that I've done. It only downloaded a
few packages. If mx17 has any newer packages than stretch, you might run
into some trouble, or you might not notice that they didn't get replaced.
What I did was:
change sources, update, install devuan-keyring, update, dist-upgrade,
reboot and remove systemd.
