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 does not offer the ease of package installation that woody offers.
Please elaborate; what are you referring to? Are you trolling?
Libranet is Debian, it uses apt-get, synaptic, aptitude, etc.
You want Woody?
Libranet 2.0 and 2.7 (Free versions)
You want Sarge?
Libranet 2.8.1.
You want Sid?
Point sources.list on ANY version afore mentioned to unstable, update, dist-ugrade and voilą!
"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."
All this based on an assertion? On an opinion, not explained? What dependency hell? Please enlighten me, I use Debian/Sid and Libranet/Sarge.
