I don't care about the tone of voice, but I still think the issue, if there is a user and superuser by default and no "unfamiliar" solution by "unfamiliar" usage of sudo, is something that is from interest for 64 Studio. If we take a look at http://distrowatch.com/ we can see, that even if Ubuntu is no. 1 by hits per day, the hits per day added by the often used distros, that are behind Ubuntu, are much more hits. As far as I know (I don't know all distros myself, but some), there are more Linux users familiar with the way it was for 64 Studio 2.1, what I call "normal" user and superuser accounts. I don't know if there are other "unfamiliar" changes for Ubuntu, but I would prefer Debian. For 3.0 I can accept the reason why it's based on Ubuntu. I guess it's because Lenny wasn't finalized and also Lenny is outdated in relation to other distros (that kind of being outdated has some advantages, hip distros like Suse often break, because of hip but broken packages). I guess Ubuntu is the distro with the most radical promotion and also a lot of money. The hits per day only say that a lot of Windows users take a look at the most radical promoted Linux and after that they go on with using Windows ;), but on the other hand there are well cared webpages that are a help for users, this is the good side of money. I don't know any other distro with such good howtos, but I don't think that most Linux users have an Ubuntu install. It's my settled conviction, that more users are fine with other distros, but I might mistaken. If Gustin likes Ubuntu or Ross and I don't like Ubuntu, this shouldn't be the decisive factor. I guess the beta tests will show if 64 Studio based on Ubuntu is fine for most users or not.
