I tend to use Kanotix, which is a more desktop oriented version of
Knoppix. It also has a much better installer, and is based on Debian
Sid. If you want the Debian repositories, you want Kanotix. Don't mind
using Ubuntu's, then that will work. Kanotix's last release was December
31. It is a major advance over last summer's release.
