Debian-based or Slackware-based? edit

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The article, as well as the timeline provided by futurist.se (and used here on Wikipedia), states that DVL was formed from Debian, while the source that is referenced in the article ("DistroWatch: DVL". Retrieved 10 October 2012.) claims that it is Slackware-based. So what is it really based on – Debian, Slackware, or a bit of both? —Kri (talk) 13:01, 28 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

DVL is now described as Slackware and Slack based and the last release seems to be in 2015. It does not seem to be discontinued. Please fix. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.93.237.255 (talk) 06:49, 2 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
