Libranet recommendations abound.  The last time I checked (many moons
ago), libranet still propounded the "old-time religion," i.e.
hopelessly behind the times and offering an older version of Xfree
that wouldn't run my video card at the time.  I wasn't willing to go
through the work of installing only to need to do a lot of work with
the unstable branch (most of which is unstable only from the debian
viewpoint).
