Ubuntu or Debian Dilemma

[Mustafa Abbasi]

i recoomend ubuntu (but then again you asked on an ubuntu mailing list so 
thats probably the most likely answer)
but still ubutu is easier by far than debain, its harder to install and 
takes longer too.
consider this analogy.
ubuntu is a nice clean GUI.its not as powerfull but perfect for noobs as 
well as pros.
debian is like the command line, more powerfull more features but lot harder 
to figure out and 
use.
both are good.
and since ubuntu is based on debian most of the software is shared.
one lasr thing the ubuntu community rocks while the debian irc channel is 
known to drive away begginners.
i advise ubuntu if only for the community help.
