I didn't go to a posh school.
I am veteran International Press Corps (writer and photographer.)
All english language comes from greek, latin is sprinkles on the trifle.
ethos, theos,
as many like to say on the street,
Ο Θεός να βάλει το χέρι του
O Theos na valei to heri tou
God will put his hand in.

Writing this in a bombproof Barry Kauler OS.

After about 25 years of working very hard in Linux, Red Hat 6, Debian, Devuan, I consider myself to be an amateur expert in very many aspects.

I ran Devuan Live, and practically immediately, was quite, to use perhaps the harshest word in the english language; disappointed.

Where is the virtual console shift, alt f1 f6.
What if I want to run shutdown -h now, or killall, or process stop start, or tail -f /var/log/messages, or zcat a man file, or ifup in root and startx in user; etc etc etc etc etc etc.

Vi is colourised (sharp arguments, (not my Orwellian British English! but the computer matter,) and, subsequently again open the file, opens down the page where I was before. Surely somebody working on a whopping file in vi, knows some advanced usage skills.

If I gave another two minutes of my time, what else would I discover.

We come to Devuan, and Devuan is supposed to supremely represent, to be supreme ultimate, we come for the protocol, not for monkeying around wasting stealing our time.

Not a bad statement off the cuff in 2 minutes.

What have you to say.

Thank you, xie xie.
P.s., alas, back in the day we used to have shift fn pgup pgdn in console!!
