Excellent - this is exactly the kind of thing I want to hear about. Can
you be more specific about which 3rd party packages were causing

I was initially under the impression that the distro could use any
packages from Debian as well. Is that not the case?

I'll consider it, but I'm looking for something that can be used as a
both a quickly evolving desktop distribution but which also has long
term support for enterprise applications. Ubuntu initially struck me as
a single distribution that could do both.
