Thanks again, Roy.
I'm not searching for a derivative of Debian per se, though I do prefer the Deb offspring over the others. I'm curious about where I might consider moving after Mint 9. The Ubu base has been wonderful, and I would hardly abandon GNU/Linux if Mint moved up the branch, so to speak, or even if it was abandoned. And you get a -10 for semi-recommending SimplyMEPIS! OK, just kidding, but it's not a matter of user-friendliness that spawned my question. I have used pure Debian before, and I liked it, but damn, ya gotta love those Ubu repos!
