It's when you start getting into the inner workings where they're different. They do also have different package names for some packages. Typically, I stay away from Ubuntu because I've had a lot of bad blood with it in the past. e.g. I was trying ot use it for server related duties in place of Debian, because it supposedly had reliable drivers for things Debian at the time was not supporting( new hardware that was released between Debian dev cycles ). In the end, I wound up moving ot Sabayon, whcih at the time was *the* cutting edge distro, and it did not support the hardware either . . . > > By the way, someone in another forum identified the problem.
