It seems to me that a lot of attention lately in the commercial Linux development area has concentrated on either large enterprise customers, or wooing the home user who can barely turn a computer on. Even distros claiming to offer the perfect solution for both ends of the spectrum don't quite seem to fit what I am looking for.

libranet is not clean woody with some backports. libranet uses mostly from testing. i know this because i installed libranet and tried to install KDE3.1.4 from download.kde.org whose binaries are built for woody. it was impossible so I installed woody and then installing the latest KDE was as simple as adding the apporpriate line to /etc/apt/sources.list, typing apt-get update and then apt-get install kdebase
libranet does not offer the ease of package installation that woody offers. therefore if someone was to use libranet, they'd feel that they've been duped as they'd still be in a kind of dependency hell that people say apt-get is meant to solve.
