It’s not much different than Ubuntu though. But it’s easier to start with a minimal system.

After many other distros including Ubuntu, I found my way back to Sarge’s successor ‘Etch’ (almost Stable) and it seems Debian has caught up with other distros in terms of desktop finess, plug’n'play etc. A pleasant surprise for me – Etch definitely worth a look if you’ve got a soft spot for Debian and bad memories of having to customize every bit of it.
