I've got it running on the wife's        laptop. You can see the details here: (scroll down a bit to the        "init software" line):              https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=mx               RF> Devuan is quite ok.

Never cared much for the        BSD's, although only ever tried the FreeBSD variant and that was        long ago. Never really saw the point of it - what does it do any        better than Linux...?                            ...
