Hi,

I search for a dream distribution

Software:

OO1.1
Moz1.5+FB0.7 ( Support for Xprint)
Xprint 
Culmus
Koffice 1.2.1
KDE 1.3.4
Pine
Latex+Hebrew
Lynx
XEmacs/Emacs
Vim
Xmms + mp3
Xpdf
gv
Kdevelop
Eclipse
All the POSIX utils
No ADware.

Management: 
APT based, so I can upgrade just about everything but the kernel, on-line.
Never have to reinstall/upgrade the OS offline.

1. RH and Mandrake have this annoying "upgrade every year or no security 
updates" policy.
Also upgrading from one version to another is a ceremony of taking the machine 
down for a few hours.
I can't blame them, they need some way to make us upgrade and buy the new 
version.

2. Debian is close, but Woody is very old and no Hebrew support.
Unstable is well... unstable, the kde is broken because of a broken 
libsensors.
It seem to work, it has problems and it's a moving target, keeping a secure 
and stable machine with it is not easy.

3. The closest thing I got is Gentoo, 

So do I have to compile everything and make a tar file distro?

Bye
Gal
