@miroR . . . just a quick note as it is very late.

The FiraSans font was dropped last year.  I never liked it because it was 'unreliable' and the spacing was strange.  But I do believe that the logo was created by reorienting FiraSans characters.  The fonts currently used on the site are OpenSans and SourceCodePro. You can see the source here.

*edit* As to fonts on this forum . . . they could probably use some revision.

Let's Encrypt is free so no shillings needed.  But none of us here have the ability to fix the problem.  It has been reported on the ML and irc so hopefully some one will wake up . . .

Welcome to the forum BTW. 

My foggy memory tells me that dev/sdxx is the least reliable method of naming drives because adding a usb device can change the numbering and if you're not paying attention, you might write to the wrong partition.  My current fstab uses uuids but all my external drives are labeled as well as all my other installations.  (I've just been too lazy to change over.)   The only uuid that has ever changed for me during an install has been the swap partition afaicr.  Note that I don't mess with my system once it's up and running till the next release.

@zapper . . . you can email members of this forum (if they allow it) from their user info on any post or from their user profie.

That oopsie was pretty confusing and something undoubtedly got lost 'in translation'. But all's well that ends well,    Onward to ASCII  and Beowulf, my friend!

I've heard many times that skipping a release is a very bad idea.  Don't know why you chose to do that . . .

I assume you've seen this for starts?

AFAIK, that doesn't exist yet (and I doubt that a ceres iso will ever).  You could boot the minimal-live iso, upgrade it through ASCII and ceres and then take a snapshot to create you very own ceres iso.

This is the version that the current purpy slim is built off of but the font colors and positioning are not quite right:
https://git.devuan.org/hellekin/slim/tr … vuan-curve

This is the correct slim.theme but I have no idea where it currently resides on git.  Package name is devuan-curve-purpy:

#
## SLiM theme Devuan Curve
#
# Copyright 2015-2016 Dyne.org Foundation
# Created by hellekin <hellekin@dyne.org>
#
## Known issues
#
# - usernames larger than 20 characters may overflow the input box
#   SLiM limits username's length to 29 characters.  Usernames are
#   usually much shorter though.
# - ditto for passwords.  Usually a password up to 28 characters
#   should display without overflow.
#
## Changelog
#

#
# - Panel now indicates the F1 key and send to `man slim` for more
#   options.
# - Font changed from Fira Sans to Open Sans
# - Changed to Jessie's purpy theme

I have the auto-renew bot standing in the corner and going to bed without supper.

When this thread was started, I didn't know much about the MX approach to 'systemd-free'.  Then I found this page on the MX wiki which says:

So systemd is is disabled as per Debian's instructions but it seems that all the underlying systemd dependencies remain intact which means that there is quite a big difference between what MX and Devuan are doing.  Not sure if antix goes further . . .
