   I does ship/install with systemd, but as you said it is not enabled by    
   default, and is not running.  Close enough for me.

   I have been a little less than impressed with Devuan.  Not sure it's    
   completely "finished" just yet.  I'm not even normally a Debian user,    
   although I do like many things about it.  As far as moving downstream...     
   using that logic we should all be using Slackware.  ;-)  (which I am).

   Agreed.  As I continue to get tired of waiting for Slackware to catch    
   up, I am just pondering some possible replacement options.  In reality I    
   will probably never move off of Slack, but I like to think that I    
   could...  ;-)   
      
      
      
   ... Everybody should believe in something:  I believe I'll have another drink.
