I understand Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian. I just want to find out what differences there are between the two.

thanks

            Thanks to all for all the suggestions. After wasting
            several days trying
            figure out M$ convoluted maze, I finally found a free
            utility called
            partition wizard that installed and instantly fixed the
            problem.

            It is incomprehensible and unconscionable that M$ is so
            determined to make
            everything so impossibly convoluted and difficult. Viva Linux.

        I completely agree. My step daughter moved in for a few weeks
        and I got
        to play with her Win7 netbook. After two days of wrestling
        with the way
        M$ wanted you to do things, I said thanks but no thanks, and
        that was
        with her showing me how and me reading a big manual she had
        with her.

        God how I love my Debian and it's not a matter of what I'm
        used to!


    I can sympathize.  Last January I bought a computer that came with
    windows 7.  I tried it for about a month and was thoroughly
    disgusted with how difficult everything was in windows 7.  M$ made
    it so ******* difficult to network two computers together.   In xp
    it was a simple task.  Also some games I have don't run right on
    7. I ended up getting rid of 7 and putting xp on the machine.
     Then in November I got tired of xp, removed it and replaced it
    with kubuntu and I'm happy with it.

    You say you run Debian.  How does Debian differ from ubuntu/kubuntu?
