One list http://doolittle.icarus.com/~larry/fwinventory/2.6.17.html shows the situation from October 2006. It's a known bug, but it takes longer to bugfix in an autonomous project like debian's than it does to make a ruling in a new benevolent dictatorship like gNS's, so I guess some FSF fans will keep flaming debian developers instead of helping to fix it. There are other small debian/gNS differences on free software: AIUI, gNS will contain FDL'd adware manuals which are not free software and not acceptable in debian; and gNS seems less willing to risk ignoring bogus software patents than debian. Personally, I'd say stick with debian if you already know it, but gNS is a better option for Ubuntu's usual targets.
