Slackware probably still avoids systemd.

BSD stands for Berkley Software Distribution

If I'm not mistaken, 'unix' started out at AT&T as part of their phone system, but was made available to others, for a price, which then became Unix in its various forms.
BSD was a free version of unix, maintained by Berkley University, who had improved it no end, & was giving it away freely, until law makers/upholders got involved, as the kernel & a few other files were still in copyright.
This is where the GNU software came from, all but the kernel & a couple of files, which had to be replaced over time, to make BSD totally free, to distribute, alter, & use, as long as the Berkley copyright files were distributed with each copy.
I believe you will also find that the internet is run on BSD.

Can Devuan still get the disaffected Debian maintainers to come aboard(?).
If they would leave Debian & join with Devuan, it would increase its validity to more sysadmins, I think, & guarantee a systemd distro for others to base their distros off.

Thanks for your help fellas.

Thanks for the links. I have downloaded the RPi3 64bit version, but it extracts to a folder full of system folders, & I know the RPi usually has a FAT partition, as well as the Linux one.
Not quite sure what to do with them, do I copy the Rasbian FAT files to a FAT partition, & then all these system files into an EXT filesystem? Or do the /boot files go onto a FAT partition, & the rest onto a Linux filesystem?
Thanks for your help.

As an owner of these little computers, I was hoping that there might be an image of Devuan available for these, all I have found is a directory of a distro for the RPi3, & some talk of creating a RPi4 version.
So, if anyone is interested in these RPi, please add what you know to this thread, thanks.
#485 Re: Devuan Derivatives » List of Devuan derivatives » 2019-11-19 12:11:16
Just returned to the forum, & I see a number of those listed don't seem to be maintained, if the dates are anything to go by, so was wondering if , perhaps, the list could be divided into 'current distros' & 'older/unmaintained'(?).

#486 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » What games do you play on Devuan?? » 2019-11-19 11:28:51
I only have 'time wasters' on my computers, usually PySolFC, Xpat2, &/or Xshisen - never wanted to run big time consuming games.

I was an early adopter, but preferred my lightweight system that I had been using beforehand, but come back & test the waters every now & again.
I now have ASCII 2.1 on 3 machines since yesterday, but had to re register on the forum, as it wouldn't let me in with my old credentials, (from Oct 15)..
