  • I would prefer a Debian based system too. Thing is, SuliXerver is licensed to us, and the company makes changes that we don't like, but must take.

Regarding the UI if you find one that suits your needs you can allways download and install that one in your Debian distro. The thing is that it is going to be difficult to find a distro that suits your needs completly, but you can ... Commented Oct 13, 2014 at 6:50
  • gather the tools that suit your needs from here and there and adapt the distro. Regarding the language barrier, I thing Debian comes with plenty of languages support, what is the language you don't find? Commented Oct 13, 2014 at 6:51
