Well, before they changed their name.... it was Lindows, but, you were correct,
in that, I set it up and instead of using their repositories, I ran apt-get,
and 
upgraded using that instead...  That's because its based of Debian Linux... 

The main problem was alot of the dependancies were broken... I had to
re-configure
apt-get to use different levels for the updates... some parts were Sid, other's
Sarge... But it was doable.  :)
