I like the LXDE implementation and integration.

I like the additional programs that come with. The additional programs included are in many cases the ones I've been adding to other Distros, and in many cases its much better done than when I just add it.

I like the newer versions of things that come with.

I like that I don't need to do modifications to get there.

Debian is my 2nd favorite distro because lenny gets me a lot of what I want, but knoppix gets me closer to the goal line. I have the same roblem under Debian. Frugalware does better with susend/resume, bat is missing some of the features I like from knoppix.
