Yes, I know - but it's Debian with a *lot* more polish and
integration. I used to use Debian a little years ago and I didn't get
on with it at *all*. Maybe these days it's a bit better.

The thing is, even the latest Debian 4 has boot floppies and a
supported "netinstall" procedure. AFAICS Ubuntu doesn't, which is a
shame. Not entirely surprising, but a shame...
