seems stats are decresing quickly.. most reviews said was only a moda for systemd-free users..
also can see that many packages not systemd-related are missing in devuan

> With the proper file systems in use (some of them won't shrink...), you can resize your partitions on-the-fly, instead of having to reboot on a live CD
you have right in this, but today, its more EASY for novice administrators buy a huge size disc and attach! in the jobs, administrators do not have that knowledge.. so go to te easies way and more simple, but more nasty of course... remenber that in the jobs, a novice administrator are more cheap that one xperimented!
>Whatever your file system is, you can create a snapshot for backup purposes
for that we have special software! and DELL servers are all hot-swap disc capable!
> If you somehow run out of space, you can add a hard drive in your computer and extend your logical volume (and your partitions) transparently
in this point you have absolutelly right! but i corroborate the performance in HD redering has impact if i not have enough RAM!
The performance has a several impact that u cannot note in a more that one core CPU! neither if u have more than 2G of RAM..
its non-sense the too complicated solutions, the google formula its keep it simple...
about lovical vs primary: its a little miliseconds... but lets to teory: the mbr only has primary, so only has one indice! but if have logicals, has more that one indice! so must compute more ! its more complicated rather that this stupid "indices teory" but its the most easies example!
#253 Re: Devuan » Bypassing networking problems with the installer. A suggestion. » 2017-05-21 00:38:48
these steps seems more complicated and are seems its a guindows like procedure...
the real right solution its provide a firmware disc that's all.. too much complicated stupid guindow-like steps.. (like windo 98 when machiine do not have the "drivers")
Debian has a unnoficial special backports disc: the Kenshi muto b-i discs http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/ solves that problem in the nomadays for debian disc.. so then later debian start to provide network install flavours with firmware includeds.
of course the difference between Kenshi muto images and debian firmware images was that the K-M images has backported recents kernels for stable releases with firmware icluding and some hacks for wifis, the debian official firmware images only has the firmware packages including...
#254 Re: Devuan » The future of 32bit and Devuan? » 2017-05-21 00:29:55
well 64 bits only work well for server and data huge systems, for a desktop people that only wants to see a movie.. its nonsense... neither for people that dont want leat with constants updates innecesary.. not all need stay connected to the network always!
so if the Devuan team depends on the Debian long life. its sad!

In original Debian theres some connection managers, the famous Network/mananger, the light Wicd python suite and the newer focused Connamn, those have some special use cases and tips
http://wiki.friendsofdevuan.org/doku.ph … -and-notes
Wicd are default in Devuan, comes only with basic, wired and wireless connections, some adhoc and ip settings.. its based on python and their UI its GTK only. wicd lacks of some specific features that connman will do and fo course network-manager comes included. wicd are maybe for python lovers, but for lighters and network related administrator are very bad due lacks of VPN advanced features and if some python env changed will be a pain.
Devuan and also Debian has the connman, available since Debian Jeesie, that are a wicd equivalent, but no python based, so its the best choice for light desktops, plus have some features that wicd does not! Have a UI GTK (connman-ui) and other QT (cmst) interfaces both minimal dependences.
In the link there are a table comparison and names of related packages.

I started to contribute with a guide to install in spanish for dummyes (dummy are tonto in spanish literal translating) but future articles will be novice-less focused
http://venenuxmassenkoh.blogspot.com/20 … n-usb.html EDIT: update the url!
i'll post later a pdf file with photos and a special xperience with DELL hardware..
as i personal note, i dont like the devuan oficial site and git interface, its very slower and complicated, i suggest gogs due are more simple... and of course faster..
i added special notes about some mites :
LVM: this are an ancient system, its only usefully for special cases, previously, the discs were small, slow and expensive, to solve this mis LVM was used that allowed several small discs all united as a large one, but its advantage was that it could be done without turning off the machine due server disk was in mayority SCSI disc and also are hot-swap , this was VERY necessary in servers due services are better do not stop due are working 24/7, today this are not much used in middle hardware or little hardware, because the disks are very big and we have many options like the same command mount without going very there. SO THEN LVM ITS A OPTION ONLY FOR GREAT SERVERS.
SWAP: there's a famous frase: "double from the RAM", today totally false, in ancient times the memories were not only expensive, also were very smaller, so the virtual memory "swap" was required beyond "double the ram", but today, please we are talking about gigas. .. If you complain a lot of virtual memory are put several partitions interchange on several disks, and that is not this case of normal users installation. SO THEN A SWAP PARTITION OF 2G ARE ENOUG WHATEVER AMOUN OF RAM U HAVE INSTALLED.
SEPARATE /USR /HOME etc: nother same as the LVM.. as i said in ancient times, disk were spensive, today those disk are very big, so a partitioning of 3 parts are enoug with a "/" of root, a "/home" and the swap partition...
