Already doing my homework online. If anybody wants links to Devuan stuff, by the way, I found some interesting posts about what to install and purge, and how to enable networking before installation (thus solving a big problem with Debian-type installations); how to get rid of both systemd and dbus. I hear that systemd is better in many ways, and that there really are two sides to this story. However, I see how systemd performs on my system all the time (especially when I try to shutdown or reboot), and I long for the simple, slow sanity of sysvinit again.
