You can use Ubuntu and do Debian development in a chroot, or use Debian and do Ubuntu development in a chroot.

Ubuntu for packaging for Debian
I'd recently adquire a little laptop (p3 900, 256 MB RAM). I'm been thinking to install Ubuntu in it cause Ubuntu is optimized for desktop, but I'd like to package some stuff for Debian. Is it advisable to use a pure Debian instead ? Regards, mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
