Devuan just released their LTS stable Jessie system:

Devuan GNU+Linux is a fork of Debian without systemd. The latest 1.0.0 Jessie release (LTS) marks an important milestone towards the sustainability and the continuation of Devuan as a universal base distribution. Since the Exodus declaration in 2014, infrastructure has been put in place to support Devuan's mission to offer users control over their system. Devuan Jessie provides continuity as a safe upgrade path from Debian 7 (Wheezy) and a flawless switch from Debian 8 (Jessie) that ensures the right to Init Freedom and avoids entanglement.

And if getting it has to be a secret, check out http://devuanzuwu3xoqwp.onion

    Uanbuntu, pronounced "1-buntu" would make a good name, I think. But like the other reply I appreciate that devuan is more for people who run headless (i.e. no kbd/screen, not the chicken version of headless). Of the 5 personal linux computers I most often make use of, only 2 have UI I/O (home "desktop" machine, and Nokia N900 phone; the other machines being my services server, my file server, and a RPi that does nothing but run IRC bots)
