   Nope, it definitely doesn't.  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):

   I may give it (Devuan) another look one of these days.  I do like    
   Debian and it's offspring fairly well.  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...?   
      
      
      
   ... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
