+1 for Salix Xfce here. I also like their Sourcery GUI for slapt-src.

Which OSs use apt and which ones have built-in package dependency resolution?
I know of Slackware, but it doesn't have built-in package resolution. It also unduly installs about 8 Giga Bytes as default to make up for its lack of dependency resolution.
I found bypassing ISOs by using programs like debootstrap very attractive to my requirements. I also need an OS that supports chroot maintenance from within another OS. chroot should also be provided by the candidate distribution.
The last requirement is to have binary packages available as compiling everything on a P4 or a T4400 machine looks quite daunting.
Till now, I haven't decided using something else in place of Debian, as Debian offers a huge repository of software, and I want to have development tools available like gcc, g++, lazarus , medit, and obviously the accompanying development libraries - hopefully I didn't forget anything important.

That has to be the "Quote of the Day". Would be a great sig.

Thank you. Sometimes I just blurt out the way I feel, shut what little 'filter' I have off, lol. The sig suggestion is a great idea, just may take you up on that.
