The maintainers of LibraNet recently created their own repository of Debian packages. They mix testing/unstable; however, if changes to either of those repositories will cause broken dependencies, they delay those changes in their own repository. LibraNet is a good choice if you want ease of use out of the box. I've been playing with Debian for maybe 18 months now. I've also tried just about every variant of it (Knoppix, Morphix, Gnoppix, Lindows) and most of the other popular distros. In the end, I've always come back to good ol' Debian. Installation may be trickier than other distros (although that's changing with the new Sarge installer), but once you're up and running, it's a beautiful thing. And the community is fantastic and immensely helpful, as long as you ask informed questions. Slackware taught me to hate Linux. SuSe taught me to like it. Debian showed me its true power and grace.
