So far Nyx in the Debian tradition, seems to"just work" with all the usual mundane things I have tried despite its unstable label.
One just needs to handle with care upgrades, reading sidux news first
I myself needed to pretty things up a bit with gtk styles
apt-get install gtk-qt-engine gtk2-engines gtk2-engines-gtk-qt
and then
apt-get install openoffice.org-gtk
And set set Control Centre, appearance GTK styles and fonts to --clearlooks
and everthing looked better to me personally.
As long as one handles with care, Sid unstable in with the sidux folks becomes a very stable competent bleeding edge release.

| I thought that as long as you do d-u at least monthly, you have an updated version of sidux. I have 2008.1. Once updated itsn't it the same as 2008.2? |

slam's point was probably that the original reporter commentd how nice the Nyx release is now that Nyx is no longer the current release. |

| Really, you just upgrade when you want to. Waiting increases the chance of a failure - but that hasn't happened in a while. |
