I'm working on a Debian site as well. But first getting familiar with Debian. Then i have more knowledge to share.
Some stuff on my Ubuntu site might be usefull with Debian too.

Have used Ubuntu in the past :oops: ( starting from version 5.04 till version 8.04 ). Glad that I moved to Debian ( first Lenny, then on my new pc Squeeze ).

I moved to Debian from knoppix. I tried Ubuntu for, maybe, a couple of desolate hours... but, mysteriously, user programs started crashing on me reminding me of Windows 95/98/2000ME blue screen of death! Moreover, I hate things being done for me, especially, if they are done the way I don't want them to be. Ubuntu has too much of that dose.
Debian == { > 30, 000 packages }; Debian != systemd
The worst infection of all, is a false sense of security!

Started with GUIless Woody back in 2002. Tried Ubuntu a couple of times but always ended up replacing it with Debian. Not that I disliked Ubuntu, I just happen to prefer Debian that's all. I feel home with it. I am running a squeeze 64 now and I just enjoy the ride!
I'll try to be a native english speaker... in my next life!

What i have learned about computers:

It is not the computer makes mistakes, it's the user who works with the computer that makes mistakes!

If you can't work with Ubuntu, it's not the fault of Ubuntu but your own fault. Not understanding Ubuntu and not willing to learn Ubuntu and do things which can't be done with Ubuntu are the faults of the users. A computer does nothing without a user who gives the command's.

So basically what you're saying is that one OS can't be better or worse than any other OS? :roll:

No, basically i say is that 99,9% of everything what goes wrong is the fault of the user. that 0.1% is de OS and it doesn't matter which OS it is. Computers are stupid machines which can't do nothing on their own, they need human input. Even een programmable logic controller neds human input otherwise it's just a piece of worthless plastic and wires.

If someone has problems with Ubuntu (or any other OS) it's NOT the OS to blaim, but the user.
