"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?"

    I misread SolydXK as SoyldXK and thought we got our own distro. Sad panda.
