I have come across it before and remember it as still quite immature. Looking over it again now I can tell I'd probably recommend it! Maybe not so much for a critical box due to rolling release system, I'm sure you could easily change or freeze repo.
It's interesting watching Ubuntu/Deb's path through distributions. In general I think derivative distributions should source from as high upstream as possible (especially with Debian!) though it's never black and white. Backtrack and Crunchbang have also moved from Ubuntu-Debian I believe. I'm also enjoying the more polished buntu-esque distributions we're getting these days (Sabayon, based on Gentoo comes to mind). They're just a little overkill if you poweruse.
