Here's my guide to installing a light-weight, fully functioning Devuan-Debian system on your box. You'll have Debian up and running after Step 1, and then Steps 2, 3 and 4 will help you get other important software installed and ready. After that you can move on to the configuration part.
There's a page to help get Devuan installed even faster, with the LXDE flavour, condensing/summarising the install steps for those who don't need so much explaination.
Then there's details about keeping Debian updated and upgrading to a newer release and how to migrate to Devuan (could be out-dated).
