I tend to use Kanotix, which is a more desktop oriented version of 
Knoppix. It also has a much better installer, and is based on Debian 
Sid. If you want the Debian repositories, you want Kanotix. Don't mind 
using Ubuntu's, then that will work. Kanotix's last release was December 
31. It is a major advance over last summer's release.
