Ironically, this reply would, possibly, be off-topic on Debian lists :)
You mentioned Libranet - I asked a prominent UK Linux vendor to consider
removing Libranet from his list of CDs because it was dead upstream and
had no update possibility. Libranet was a very good Debian derivative -
is there still a "Libranet community" and should someone be looking to
find what made Libranet special and try to bring that to Debian for new
users?
Andy - interested in all Debian derivatives - but who comes back to
running and advocating Debian every time.
