I have installed Mint Debian on my main machine and it is
okay. A little rough on some points, but I am not sure I am
sold on Unity Desktop. I am going to wait a bit for Gnome3
and then compare the two to see what meets my needs.</blockquote>

I am also switching to Mint Debian for main desktops at
because of the rolling release cycle. So for I am in love. The
only part that Ubuntu has done very well is the "Hardware
Drivers" install dialog for Wifi and Graphics drivers. Those
seem to be way more manual to install in Debian. But I have
got them working, so I am very happy with my experience so far
(about 2 months).<br style="font-family: Ubuntu,UbuntuBeta !

I really miss the PPAs for Ubuntu. Can they be used on
Debian? Is there a similar idea for Debian?</div>

I do not know about the ppa's. I doubt it is a good idea. I had to
break ranks with win 1.3 and just use dpkg -i with the mepis deb.
It workd for me, but ymmv.<br>
