we use (and support) both, but i'd like to establish a rationale for
using one or the other.
are there situations where debian is preferable (eg older hardware)?
are there situations where ubuntu is preferable (eg picking up newer
hardware)?
I prefer debian whenever I want to use packages that (in ubuntu) belong
to the universe category. I find that in my personal experience,
packages in debian main seem more reliable than ubuntu universe.
I find that I rather often want to have some package installed that does
not belong to ubuntu's main repository, but do belong to debian's main
repository.
