I use libranet, based on and compatible with debian, and use Reiserfs 
and grub, and have no initrd. You can easily add reiserfs support to 
your kernel during configuration.

There are kernels from debian that you can install that do need initrd 
because of the way they are packaged.

I also have Debian 3.0 on an ext3 partition using lilo without initrd. 
Your understanding of debian is somewhat confusing to me.

I'm not a fan of lindows; seems running as root is dangerous, and I 
believe (though am unsure) that their repository is not totally 
compatible with debian. Correct me if I'm mistaken.
