ok. linux is about choice as they say.

you might find debian slightly better suited to you than ubuntu. but you can mould ubuntu a fair amount. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarkShuttleworth has a good explanation of the differences between the distros.

"Why are you funding Ubuntu, instead of giving the money to Debian?
<snip>
First, a lot of the things I want to do involve reducing the scope of the distro. That makes it MORE useful for one set of people, but quite clearly LESS useful for others. For example, we currently officially support only 3 architectures in Ubuntu. That's GREAT for people running those architectures, but clearly not so useful for people running on something else."

which i think sums up the aims of ubuntu quite well.
