I've liked it very much.

That is why Sidux has the smxi script for upgrades. The developers keep
a constant watch on upgrades and smxi will put a hold on anything that
breaks, thereby stabilizing the unstable. I highly recommend using smxi
rather than standard upgrade/dist-upgrade for Sidux. It's probably the
best feature of Sidux. There are very good reasons to have a closer look
at sidux. Amongst
other things: there are packages for dssi-vst, RT kernel, Rosegarden
etc. which can be installed conveniently via apt-get.
I understand Sidux is an attempt to make a usable distro out of
Debian's Unstable repository. I've used it, it's a great distro. Only
drawback I know of is that if you do an upgrade, it becomes pure
Debian Unstable - which sometimes can be very very unstable!
