Equally, I just prefer Debian. I don't like the Ubuntu way, I like having a system which I can easily understand the inner workings. To that extent I've probably just used Debian more than Ubuntu.

Before I used Debian I used Gentoo for many years. But once I entered the real world I no longer had the time to keep a system updated and moved to Debian which was the most used distro among my friends.
The rule of thumb is:
Use what you're comfortable with. Failing that, use what your friends/peers are comfortable with. At least then you can get support easily.
Makes sense Andrew. I've decided to focus on debian, hoping that when the next stable version comes out, I will just be able to apt-get dist-upgrade all my boxes. I'm struggling to find a script that works on Debian 7, but will keep searching. Richard
