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

    Check out AntiX, void, and LMDE...

    I'm sure there has been a lot of code-sharing between these distros. Not to mention that there are now Devuan derivatives, such as Gnuinos, Refracta, heads (a cross between Devuan and tails), and more [devuan.org] (about 40% down the page).

    Have fun.
