Libranet (and Debian) are fine distros, IMO.  The zealots don't bother me, I just ignore them.  Easily done, I had lots of practice from ignoring a former roommates annoying girlfriend. 

I guess the best thing about them is apt.  Now that is a package management system.  No dependencies problems.  

A great irony is, I tried to get apt on one of my rpm based distros using apt4rpm, and I gave up chasing down all the dependency problems.
