firebyrd10,

What you said is not entirely true. Knoppix is not based on SID but is a mixture of all three levels of the debian distro. That is why upgrades are problematic. "True" debian SID installations work very well, the only drawback is periodic quirks in the applications because they are cutting edge!

You are right in saying that SARGE is a bit better for those who what a very usable problem free OS.
