@jhx One of the differences between Ubuntu and Debian that matters to me is the release timeline... In Debian it's one new version every about 2 years, so with time some stuff may tend to get stale, newest hardware may not be well supported, etc. In Ubuntu you can stay in a LTS if it fits the bill, or try the newest 6 months release if it doesn't. Fedora and Debian release models, all into one, and this has proved advantageous in my case. :)
