[lug] Any experience with sidux?

Folks,
with the realease of Maverick Meerkat I decided that I'll leave (and
recommend!) Ubuntu to my aunts, parents and in-laws. Not for me
anymore.
I was thinking to move to Debian, but right now I'm considering more
seriously sidux. I really like its architecture, from the
rolling-release cycle, to
as-up-to-date-as-possible-but-without-breaking-as-often-as-sid-does,
to the cli dist-upgrade, to the strong debian-like philosophy.
Everything looks just right. The LiveCD iso works great as a LiveUSB,
and for now it's the only thing that I've tried about sidux (and its
drivers work fine with the hw I've tried so far).
I've 4 or 5 desktop/laptop machines to migrate (no servers), and I'm
really eager to install it and start using it asap!

Is there anybody using sidux on this list? Or anybody that tried it
and liked or disliked? Any recommendation, comment, gotcha, rant or
whatever is welcome!

My only (irrelevant) concern is that last time I used KDE was long
time ago, but I'm happy to go back to it, partially because of this
http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS8745257437.html (but my "missing
features" are others, not the ones mentioned here) and partially
because of the gut-feeling that gnome is becoming less gpl-friendly
(which I think is silly, given its history).

Thanks,
Dav
