Debian support

Hello, not an issue but rather a question : I run Debian stable on my box. Is it safe/possible for me to use r2u? How about Linux but non Ubuntu users in general? Thanks for the great effort
This is a duplicate of #1.
Edit: Not really, I read too fast. But it is a question somewhat out of scope for r2u.
It is an obvious question, but there are also obvious resource constraints on my part. I may try to take another stab at answering or at least mentioning this in the documentation website / FAQ section.
And no you should not in general mix Debian and Ubuntu. You are best adviised to back up your files from $HOME and other places and install freshly with Ubuntu if you want to switch. This is also more of a general 'how do I ...' question for Ubuntu and Debian and not specific to r2u.
Thanks for the answers.
There are good solutions for Debian too There are about 1000 packages in the distribution, containing most of the 'harder' ones and you can always build from source.
But sad;y we do not currently have something like r2u for Debian. Sorry.
