sidux发行是一份面向桌面的操作系统，它是基于Debian GNU/Linux的unstable分支的自启动运行光盘。除了与Debian完全兼容外，该发行还提供一份定制的内核以支持各种时新的硬件设备，缺省桌面环境KDE，滚动更新式的升级发布，并符合Debian的自由软件指南。

        Stefan Lippers-Hollmann has announced the release of sidux 2009-01, a desktop Linux distribution based on Debian's unstable branch: "A little earlier than originally planned, we now have the pleasure to announce the availability of sidux 2009-01, shipping with kernel 2.6.28.6-rc1. It concentrates on integrating the changes caused by kernel 2.6.28, stabilising the init optimisations accomplished by insserv, and in particular improving the reliability of the installer and the USB installers. Kernel 2.6.28 doesn't only improve and stabilise hardware support for newer devices, it also adapts the I/O scheduler support for SSDs in order to improve prioritisation of disk access and to speed these up. Another major accomplishment is the deployment of the opensource OpenFWWF firmware for Broadcom wireless devices." Read the detailed release notes for further information.
