I've been lurking for a while, and I'm getting close to a decision point. I have been using Debian for well over a decade, but Jessie appears to be too unstable. The two machines I installed it on had issues bad enough that I reverted to Wheezy (reformat/reinstall).
Thing is, I mainly deal in servers. I really don't care that much what workstation OS I use; Mac, Windows, Linux; so long as I can ssh to my servers that is all I care about. As was mentioned earlier, PHP can not be upgraded on Wheezy, so I have been looking around for a replacement. I'm currently playing with FreeBSD, and keeping an eye on Devuan. Is Devuan mature enough to use on a server yet? Most of the work I see is on what I consider workstation stuff; netman, etc... Does that mean the server stuff is pretty stable already? This is my livelyhood, so I'm definitely not wanting to jump into anything. Almost lost a customer over the instability of Jessie. Bottom line is, as a server (no GUI, no netman, no games, no Libre, just a basic OS that allows me to install Apache/Postfix/MariaDB), do you feel Devuan is ready for some serious consideration yet, or should I wait another few months. Oh, we are heavily into virtualization using Xen also. BTW, while I can not contribute the skills necessary at this point, my offer of a mirror still stands, whenever that becomes needed. Resources I have, but my programming skills are so far out of date I'd be a liability. But, resources I would be happy to share when/if you need them. Rod -- Rod Rodolico Daily Data, Inc.
