Thanks for the checklist of pkgs for minimal installation. It mostly resembles 
my own, with a few exceptions; but those items look useful. 

Also, I am interested in running Devuan over Debian, because I am less than 
enthusiastic about my systemd experience. It seems like systemd interferes 
with certain operations. 

I set out to learn Debian first, before trying Devuan; because I was used to 
running the 'buntus, and unfamiliar with the differences in a Debian system. 

Now that I've got Debian under control (except for systemd), I think maybe I'm 
ready to go for Devuan. So if you can offer any advice about making the 
switch, I would be most grateful. 

Devuan repositories (including the onion links) are already in my 
sources.list. And I now have a second computer, and more liberty to explore 
and experiment.
