Alex,
I can't agree more with you on this.
Indeed it is a very dedicated efert.
But the fact is that Ubuntu is a proper commertial distro.
Being  a FOSS professional I have the option of paid support from the 
company itself.
On a personal front though, I would love to switch to Debian-mate.
However I have not got the text based installer to work so far on my 
machine.


Secondly, I wished we had the live cd of Debian testing so that we could 
get the same experience of the new stable on a live boot.
I am very sure Debian is doing a great job, but to use the new stable 
stuff one has to always use testing and stable takes a while to have the 
new things.
As a side note, I have a few servers running on Debian and it is really 
great.
Happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
