This is what I did ... what version state is the resulting distribution? 
Is there any way to tell?

This is exactly what I am trying to avoid. I want a user to be able to 
get the security updates with a apt-get -upgrade command. I also want 
the huge package selection that debian provides.

My real problem is the Debian installer isn't suitable for install in 
anything resembling a reasonable amount of time. It works, but that's 
about it.
