When Ubuntu initially arrived on the seen "lifting" Debian, they did
it well. Today, it might not be so well (only with respect to the
desktop . . . the server variant is still nice . . .). When Mint
lifted "Debian" a year or so ago, and then recently, they did it
well. There will be a time when Mint will mess things up and
something else will hit the seen . . .
If you haven't guessed by now, I enjoy reading http://www.distrowatch.com/
. Today, the Page Hit Ranking indicates that folks are going for Mint
over Ubuntu almost 2 to 1. :-) Ubuntu held the top position for a
long time. Debian has been around number 5 (between 5 and 17) on the
list for much longer (at least according to my unscientific habit of
randomly glancing at this list from time to time). For a long time
(too long), the name of the game for me has been how quickly can I
deploy server xyz, running services abc. It's just frustrating when
something doesn't work "seemlessly perfect out-of-the-box". :-)

Isn't that what Ubuntu did to Debian?

I prefer installing my own system rather than letting mint take

made me take a second look at mint.
