[PLUG] Debian trip is over

I've never run Debian Testing. But I did come across what I think is a 
great lil' distro called 'Sidux', "Debian Hot and Spicy". It's based on 
Debian Sid (unstable). Which if you know anything about Debian, just 
means it works but they haven't tested the hell out of it.

I've been running it for about a year now. I think they're on a 6 month 
release cycle. You can test it out w. a LiveCD. I do run into problems 
now and then, but I've learned a lot working through them. The Sidux 
community is extremely knowledgeable and very helpful.

Here's a thread on getting a Logitech bluetooth mouse working on a Dell 
820 laptop:

The main reasons I don't run Ubuntu:
I find it sluggish compared to Debian.
The video driver seems to lose its marbles when I close the lid on my 
Thinkpad T60.
I can't get get access to and run all Debian software.
I support Debian's quirky fight to be Free and Open. Even if Iceweasal 
and Icedove are super cheesey names...

If Sidux ever charged money for their distro, I would be a loyal 
customer to the bitter end.
