I just installed Linux Mint Debian Edition as a result of reading this
thread, though not out of a yearning to use GNOME 2.  I like Gnome 3,
and it works really REALLY nicely in Fedora and Arch.  However, I've
been trying to get a Debian-variant running for a while, and the only
one that's worked well is Crunchbang, which only /felt/ weird because
after a while I didn't have a "minimal system," I practically had
Debian.

Linux Mint Debian is really really nice.  I'm using it right now after
only spending a few hours setting it up (that's mainly setting up Emacs,
by the way).  I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try a new
distro.
