Debian or Ubuntu for a desktop box?

[Anthony Boynes]

I have to disagree, based on solely on my experience.  I've used
Debian Testing for the last couple of years, and would hardly say
that it is "buggy as all hell".  The updates have been very smooth and
trouble free.  I've heard some horror stories about Unstable, but I've
never tried it myself.
