The result? A customized installer. It has a 2.4.26 version kernel, supports XFS, LVM, RAID and various hardware drivers. Comes along with vim, bash, you can even resize partitions using parted and you get postfix as the default MTA. It has two flavours, a business card CD and a miniCD version which will help you install a minimal Debian system or even a X Window desktop."

2. Install apt
3. Realize I have to add a bunch of extra repositories to get a half-way decent selection of packages
4. Still can't find packages for lots of stuff I had in Debian
5. Overlaps and conflicts between packages in different repositories causes havoc everytime I try to upgrade
6. Not so happy
