grml is a live-cd. A live-cd for sysadmins and texttool-users.  A
live-cd bringing current versions of software to grml's users.
Using it as a harddisk based system is an option and a nice addon
but not the major goal of grml. If you can't manage Debian/unstable
you shouldn't use grml as your main harddisk system.

Debian testing is a bad choice for me, you neither get really stable
nor current software.

Grub is to broken for my taste. Lilo works.

Different tastes, different window managers. Chose whatever you
like.
