Some appreciation and a note on migration from Stretch to ASCII

Hi,

I've successfully migrated from Stretch to ASCII.

I just want to say that I really appreciate all the efforts of the Devuan team to provide a Debian based alternative to System D, and also for keeping a flame to the UNIX philosophy.

Migration was fairly painless, however, I did encounter two minor issues using https://git.devuan.org/dev1fanboy/Upgra … o-ascii.md that may be useful to others:

1.  Getting the devuan keyring require an apt update --allow-unauthenticated first

2.  Somewhere in the process of removing network manager and upgrading the network interfaces were renamed, so I had to update Wicd to the new network interface names.

Otherwise, it all appears stable and the Devuan theme is lovely!

That issue is clearly addressed on this page:

2.  Somewhere in the process of removing network manager and upgrading the network interfaces were renamed, so I had to update Wicd to the new network interface names.

That is intentional.  Devuan reverts the new network interface names and uses eth0 as default.

Otherwise, it all appears stable and the Devuan theme is lovely!

Thanks for the report and kind words for the darkpurpy theme.  Welcome to Devuan!
