"ZDNet has posted an overview comparing Debian and three first- and second-generation derivatives. LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) is derived directly from Debian Testing, unlike its more famous Ubuntu-derived relative; SolydXK is somewhat of a spinoff from LMDE; and Tanglu is a new offering based on Debian Testing and the Tanglu development team expects to provide a lot of the testing, integration, packaging and distribution of patches and updates to avoid the long development delays and freezes that Debian goes through in the development/distribution cycle.

Everyone knows Debian, and I've dabbled with the Ubuntu-related Mint, but the other two were new to me. Has anyone put them through their paces?"

    After running straight debian on the desktops in my house for the last few years I wanted something with a little more polish for the rest of the family. Just gave LMDE a try this weekend and liked it except for their repo being down. source: http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2582 [linuxmint.com] talk about bad timing...
