I find Debian just works, granted for mulimedia got to add the deb-muli repos in but i have always had good luck with it. Debian has the stable branch which is pretty damn stable, Ubuntu pulls from sid. lts from testingOriginally Posted by N2CHX
Actually, Ubuntu and Mint are Debian based, so some packages in Debian might be updated a bit sooner. I never really looked into how the package flow goes, to be honest, and I develop software haha.Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, there is no wrong when it comes to LinuxBTW Debian was the only flavor of Linux I could get to install on some old HP servers I inherited from a radio station in New Orleans after Katrina. Everything else bombed trying to install on the big RAID array, but Debian happily installed and ran just fine. It's a good O/S. IMO Ubuntu is too dumbed down now. Great for the average user who needs user-friendliness and for things to just work but not get into the bowels of things, but not for someone who likes to tinker around with stuff. I spend a lot of time in a terminal window.
