dux IS Debian Sid with a few custom scripts that try to prevent you from installing "buggy" software that will turn your install into a brick. One warning, I made a separate home at install and it did not take. My /home was in my 4G / partition and I ran out of room on the system when transferring all my "must have" data back into /home. This required me to test my emergency recovery skills in a single user log on. I hope this helps. -- Damon L.
