I'm sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with Devuan, and thank you for reporting the problems to us. One thing which would be helpful in order to investigate this further would be to know more about the hardware you were installing it on; obviously I'm specifically asking about the ethernet and sound chipsets. Please could you let us know: a) the output of lspci and/or lsusb as it applies to these interfaces b) for the Mate setup, what modules does lsmod tell you have been loaded for the sound card c) for the KDE setup, what modeules does lsmod tell you have been loaded for the ethernet interface? Any similar related information you can give us would probably be helpful.

[DNG] Your recent Beowulf 3.00 release
A little after its release I downloaded both the Desktop Live (Xfce) and the Desktop DVD version (4 GB). I had never used Devuan before, but having used Debian and seeing that it takes some time to boot I decided to try this fork system. The Desktop Live worked flawlessly and I liked it a lot, though I regret that it didn't recognize my Broadcom BMC4360 card and consequently wifi did not function. However I don't consider this to be a major inconvenience. Things turned out to be a little different with the DVD version regrettably: I installed the KDE and MATE desktops together and the following happened. When using the MATE desktop, internet via Ethernet was not available. Then I tried KDE and Ethernet was recognized ok, but there was no sound at all (with MATE sound presented no problem). This was the second time I used this DVD version and I have to say that on the first occasion I also experienced some kind of trouble with it; unfortunately I can't remember now what it was. I ended up deleting the file. The purpose of this note is simply reporting my experience (I forgot to mention that I verified the downloads as it is suggested). It is sad for me what happened with the DVD version because -as I mentioned before- I like this system much and will be following its development. Regards.
