th very little mindshare, so I'd temporarily rule that out. Runit and

The combination of a sysvinit PID1 plus a spawned supervisor can make
Devuan capable of running lots of daemons abandoned by Debian, for
years to come.

For software designed from the ground up to be a promiscuous

essential, so I spoze dbus is as good as anything. However, ssh-agent
is a nice, encapsulated little utility, so there's no reason I can see

Hi all,
Dave Turner mentioned ctwm in the "devuan ascii - how much of systemd is

it to something like $eth0of1
I'd vote for #3, but would be happy with any of the above. I'm not sure
