hello,

i don't think this should be a discussion about changing the dists!!!
moving to another distribution should be the last thing to do!
and for better reasons then only a package that is newer or "better" 
or "easier" to handle.
this is nonsense! 
btw, the libpam-modules package w/ rlimits is also in DeMuDi 
(from "http://demudi.agnula.org/images/1.2.1/README.PACKAGES": 
libpam-modules                           0.76-22) 
and debian sarge and the current ubuntu (both also version 0.76-22).
