I replaced Wheezy with Ubuntu 14.04, the first thing I do is $'sudo 
passwd root' after that I feel right at home and can install all the 
software that I use in both Wheezy and Jessie and the theme's too. I see 
no difference in stability. The 14.04 mini.iso is the way to start and 
get the base package and build from there. I build all my systems from 
the base install including this one.
