Debian Unstable vs. Ubuntu

[Rami Kayyali]

Well, security updates *are* a major factor in choosing one over the
other, but sometimes Ubuntu lacks the extensive support and
documentation Debian has, don't you think? Universe packages are also
an issue, I looked for software like JEdit and Wine in Hoary's
universe, but they weren't there.
