Dude - uncalled for. Debian is a leftist distro, for sure. The goal is that no matter the outside support (or lack thereof) for anything, no matter the corporate mind changes, etc, Debian will continue to be free for always and forever (and not just free as in beer).
I'm a debian user, and happen to love helping people out with it when they need it. (Just finished doing that, as a matter of fact). There are debian users who have a severe case of cranio-anal inversion, just as there are gentoo, arch, centos, suse, mandriva, you-name-it users with the same affliction. That doesn't mean you can't find help installing debian. That said, Ubuntu's default installer results in a much simpler install that "Just works" for many more users than Debian. Different philosophy and all that. As a result, most linux desktop vendors would rather sell Ubuntu than Debian. If you buy a desktop with Ubuntu, there's a great chance you'll be able to install Debian on it with minimal headache (or just use Ubuntu, since administration will be very similar).
