Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately "Debian-based" pretty much always means "uses the .deb package management and will run things from the Debian repository,"
I can recommend MX Linux, which is Debian based, easy to use, and has a very good update system (tells you you have updates, you click and it gets done).
Unfortunately this really works well with xfce. Running TDE on it is easy when you know what you're doing, but there are some things to tweak (such as aditing the menus to add tdesu to run the MX utilities and other software that require root or sudo password).
Hi Thierry,
You can avoid all the tweaks by creating two users. One for your everyday TDE usage, and one for those very few nitpick things that have to be done in Xfce.
Ah, nm, I sent you the info several months ago, which I just found trying to dig up a link to it.
