Sidux helps to stabilize Debian sid, the unstable (and most up-to-date) branch. LXDE is a lightweight window manager, lighter than XFCE. I like that Debian is 100% community maintained and FOSS, but its stable branch is outdated, and i'm a junkie for bleeding-edge software. Hopefully this combination will give me the best bang for my 35 bucks. If you're interested the instructions and download links are here: http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Sidux Nicholas Chase
