Anyway, it's how I stumbled on the Devuan project, so there is some connection. But I couldn't get that one to work properly for me. The installation shell *seemed* to work, but then when I tried to reboot, I ended up with nothing. Anyway, I have got Devuan Jessie/Beowulf (I think?) running pretty well with TDE - already lots better than Debian Jessie with systemd! However, I still have a couple bugs, hopefully minor, which I will bring up in later threads.
