Well I can't see much reason for not using Debian ;-) That said Ubuntu,
or the KDE version Kubuntu, is a modern/stable/updated every 6 months
( if you need it) distro. I hav been testing the upcoming new release,
it has lots of bells & whistles Iam not used to as a Debian user. It
now has an semi auto update feature, tells you when updates are
avialable, can install them if you want, lots of other stuff I don't
know how to use :-)
