Devuan is a fork[1][2] of the Debian Linux distribution. Its stated first goal is to provide a distribution without the controversial systemd installed by default.[3] The Debian 8 "Jessie" release has caused polarization amongst Debian developers and users, due to the project's adoption of systemd as the default init replacement.[4][5][6]

As of April 2015, no official release has been announced. Devuan has only released a "pre-alpha" version.[7]
