I use debian from knoppix in productive environment (school, but they want to
work with it :-) ) and it works just great ...
It IS an debian ...
Perhaps try doing an dist-upgrade to stable ... ("upgrade? more a downgrade!

Then you really have only an debian system !
I never experienced any problems, except with buggy memory ...
And the "serious" for users problems are that there is no ext3/reiserfs
support yet and that is worked on ...
