First off! learn how to quote. What is it that you want to do? IMHO, there is a very big difference between Debian and Ubuntu and at the same time None at all. it depends on how you look at it. Usability wise ubuntu is a thousand miles ahead of debian. Ubuntu is more usable on the desktop. similarly, I wont be caught dead with a ubuntu install on one of my webservers. On the Desktop: If you know whats going-on or if you dont care, e.g If you know how does that pretty icon automatically comes on the desktop when you attach the Digital Camera, or if you dont care, then it makes sense to use ubuntu. If you wish to know what all you need to do in-order to get a particular version of the camera working, and are inclined to do it every single time you need to use the camera, then I guess debian is for you. On the server: I have never used ubuntu on a server so I wont comment about that. But, I have used debian on various kind of server settings, mail, web, gateway. It rocks ... the ease of doing stuff and the quality of the packages and package management system all shines. Coming to your orignal question, what debian to use? Like many other questions this one also has one answer. It depends. It depends on various things, it depends on your hardware, it depends on what exactly are you trying to do/run. If you just want to run a desktop then sid (unstable) is the way to go.
