Not my impression at all. The Alpha 2 installer just came out. I was
able to install devuan in a virtual box without a problem, and so now
one of my virtual desktops is now a Devuan version of Jessie. Systemd is
not installed. I'm able to run my key applications also without
problem. The project seems to be coming along quite nicely (still needs
to replace udev). I look forward to a Beta.
