In theory.
LXDE has been uninstallable for weeks after being broken by an update
and the Iceweasel in the repository has four grave bugs. There's a bug
somewhere systemy, I think in GTK, which makes a number of scroll bars
misbehave. Synaptic has been occasionally freezing, sometimes taking
the whole X display with it, for some weeks.
And they're just the ones I'm aware of at the moment... no real
showstoppers, but definitely buggy.
