I was running Debian/Ubuntu side by side for a while on two servers, until I decided I couldn't think of any reason to sacrifice the 6 month release cycle that Ubuntu gives me. They are functionally VERY close. I really like Ubuntu's concept of a server install - no services at all, especially not X-windows! just a system that you can add whatever you like to. That works for me. On my pure server boxes, I've activated the root account because it's the only account that I use. Why use sudo when every time I log in and everything I do on the box is done as root, and only I do it. I ssh into my own account, then su - Perhaps someone will tell me if that's the wrong thing to do, and why? On desktop boxes, the lack of a root password is not an issue. I'm happy to leave it that way. OSX works exactly the same way. I'm curious if anyone knows what effect (if any) the existence of Ubuntu has had on Debian deployment and development.
