I always though ubuntu _was_ debian, since ubuntu is based off of 
debian. besides, i had ubuntu on my Gateway Solo9550 and it worked just 
fine. i had no problems with overheating. But when id run it in xp, that 
thing would get hot fast (and it got so hot one time, the video card 
overheated and the system, i guess, didnt detect the critical heat level 
and it never shut down)
