And I have a little joke about that...

A day, I installed a debian, move to unstable, then install deps, then E
with entrance.

I log in... hmm SHIT ! xterm didn't come with xorg ! :) because of entrance,
I was not able to do anything... no apps, not openssh-server installed
yet... funny case :). It was a packaged version from alphagemini to test it,
but as is seems to not have libpam support, you can't unlock your desktop
lock... so I basicaly installed a new one from source...
