Thank you Pedro.

The fact that you are running an i5 and have the LGA1151 socket takes a huge load off my mind. I am a graybeard (50+ years) in programming and software but my lack of knowledge and experience on the hardware side drives me crazy.

I assume that I will need a fan for an i5 or i7 cpu as well as thermal grease.

Again - thanks for your quick reply.

Time to get away from Linux variants that require systemd...

  I am looking at a Supermicro SYS-5029S-TN2 box with Super X11SSV-Q motherboard. Will Devuan run on an i5/i7 chip in this?

  Spent the past week trying to configure this in detail and am just not sure. Before I shell out for the components I'd like to hear from the experts if I am on the right track or not.
