I agree that some Debian derivatives may not be suitable due to the lack of
focus on stability or server usage.  Example: Linux Mint

However, I disagree with your example of Ubuntu.  It may be based on Debian
testing, but it gets as much focus as Debian stable.  Has long term service
releases that are supported for 5 years.  Can be supported professionally
by Canonical (it's maker).  Is fully supported as an OS for many enterprise
applications like VMware, even more than Debian itself.
