Unfortunately there are to many  users  suggesting  others  to  use  the
original Debian repositories without explaining that the  CAN  run  into
trouble by "unexpected software behavior".

I have for example "Parsix" an iranien Debian derivat, "Arabix" which is
an Debian derivat from <http://www.arabeyes.org/> and I  have  UHU-Linux
an hungarien Debian derivet distribution.

Also I have gotten over 80 other "Debian-Derived" distribution CDs...

Over 90% of the packages are NOT interchangeable...

Do you know, that Debian is the most derived Distribution of the World?
Now over 480 different versions.
