I agree. Just recently installed Stormix at home and as far as I can tell it IS Debian, so I'm not sure exactly what it is supposed to be hiding. Stormix installation is fast and straightforward. I only have a couple of gripes. Serial mice work during installation but after reboot gpm is pointing to a ps2 mouse and Xconfig is using a Intellimouse driver. Once I tracked down and fixed those problems, gpm works fine. The other frustration is regarding usb. Still fighting to get my usb modem and printer to work. Otherwise a slick package for debian. My 8 year old son has already learned how to boot out of windows and log in to gdm to play the great variety of games that were installed. :)
