    I accidentally found out about STAR. I put it on trial. As a result, it remained on the laptop. After Arch-based distributions, STAR is both nostalgic and fun. Thanks for the work.

    Jun.22: Best distribution ever. Have been using this for years as a basis for a DIY console-as-much-as-possible system using i3. I prefer the amd 64 netinst image. No schnickschnack, just works. Damned fast and stable. Five stars. Thanks so much for your efforts. Jun.23: 1 year later still no netinst. So sad. One of five stars gone.

    Nice packaging of devuan beowulf and the installer is pretty sophisticated. Main trouble is getting help, so had to knock a star off of Star Linux. :(

    An exemplary distribution, simple and yet very dependably strong. Low resource consumption. Running Star Xfce & Star Openbox, one on my desktop, and the other on my laptop! Learned of Star on DistroWatch and had put off running a test install to see how well it performed, it did exceptionally well indeed. Keep up the excellent work and thank you!
