There are lots of people on this list that will know better than me, but
I think that Debian vs Ubuntu is not as important a question as testing
vs stable, or in Ubuntu terminology: Administration/Software
Sources/Updates/Release upgrade/ Normal vs Long term. That is, whether
you want frequent small upgrades or less frequent but more painful
upgrades. If you have a desktop and new hardware then my guess would be
you want Ubuntu Normal. If you are running a server on well known (old)
hardware then you might prefer stable. There is a lot of gray area in
between.

Hello ALL!
First, I apologize for sending question that spill-out from the scope
of this list. However, you might be essentially the best informants.
In brief, I am thinking to give second shot to the Debian. Currently I
am using Ubuntu 9.04, but Debian still teases me, so to say. I used to
use Debian testing (Lenny at that time), but when Lenny became stable,
things became very shaky in testing camp. I need Linux/GNU for work.
And R is one of my main tools.
In brief, my question is: Should I stay, or should I go?!? And then:
to which release?
I like Ubuntu, polished and pretty stable, but Debian is its
mother-ship and I was very happy with it until that period of various
problems (lost graphical functionality, wireless, mic crashed and even
sound in some point, etc.). Only if I could reach constant stability
and flawless work.
Thanks! Best,
PM
