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outdated, and i'm a junkie for bleeding-edge software.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:
