siduction strives to be 100% compatible with Debian Sid.
Nevertheless, siduction may offer packages that temporarily replace
faulty Debian packages. The siduction apt repository contains siduction
specific packages such as the siduction kernel, scripts, utilities, and
documentation.
The distribution siduction is aimed at users who already have some
experience with Linux and are not afraid of using the command line.
On the stability of Debian Sid
“Sid” is the name of the Debian unstable repository. Debian Sid is regularly updated with new software packages, which means that this Debian distribution contains the latest versions of the respective programs very promptly. However, this also means that there is less time between a release in the upstream (by the software developers) and the distribution in Debian Sid to test the packages.
