Re: Comparison of using Sidux as opposed to Squeeze

I have both a Sidux and a Squeeze install at the moment. Usability
wise they're roughly the same, though Sidux is generally faster about
getting fixes in place. Neither Sidux nor Squeeze will be as stable
as... stable, however.

I think choosing between the two really comes down to what you want
from your distro. Sidux provides a pre-configured desktop install with
a later kernel and a few nice usability scripts. If you want a
pre-configued KDE4 or XFCE install and don't mind doing some
maintenance then Sidux is worth exploring. If not, then I personally
wouldn't bother. Their "spices" are nice, but hardly necessary if
you're used to running vanilla Debian.
