Thanks Frank, for the information that most of the DeMuDi packages are 
in standard Debian. However, one of my goals is to limit the time I need 
to spend in setup and configuration. And it seems that there would be a 
bit of work in trimming out all of the debian apps that I don't need, 
and in other customizations, like tuning the disk cache, cron jobs, even 
window manager configuration, etc.

That being said, I have never actually installed or even sat in front of 
a standard Debian system, so feel free to correct any misunderstandings 
I have.
