Well, ubuntu's installation is based on debian's new installer, so there's not 
a lot of difference there these days.

But yes, I'd recommend Ubuntu (actually, I'd recommend taking time to get to 
know the the KDE version, Kubuntu) over Debian.  It's tricky to setup Linux 
in a way that 'just works' these days through Debian, and more importantly, 
Ubuntu seems to have more sense of sanity in terms of keeping things 
up-to-date (latest major versions of KDE, for instance) and functioning (IM 
programs that understand the latest protocol changes, for instance).

Debian really made my life easier, but Kubuntu makes it easy and pleasant as 
well :)

Now... if only they'd sort out those repositories :)
