I like apt too so far, but searching for packages seems to have been a bit painful. That is until I learned about the -a flag to apt-show-versions, but since I haven't read my about the apt-get philosophy, I've probably just missed something.

I may be biased, however, :) I'm leaning towards debian unstable, if only because apt-get has been useful and simple once I've learned more about it. John
