What are your thoughts?There exist NO "versus" between Ubuntu and Debian. They are simply two sides of the same coin.

I was under the impression that Ubuntu was just a style or flavoring of Debian and not really a versus thing.

They aren't even sides really. Ubuntu is a Snapshot taken of the Debian repos, combine with some patches, and more GUI utilities...that is really the degree of separation between the two.

Try editing your OP to eliminate confusion.

You are correct, my analogy was a bit too simplistic.

Ubuntu is BASED on debian. There is no versus.

Ubuntu is "better", In my opinion, for desktops, and Debian's "better" for servers. But that's just me. It's basically the same.

Ubuntu is nothing without Debian snapshots.Debian is more stable and better.
