This is going to sound like a troll, but I am honestly trying to
understand. I've tried Ubuntu, and it was nice. But in the end I
looked at Debian and thought 'it's as good or better, and I'll never
have to reinstall again, or at least until I get new hardware'. At
that point it was an easy choice.

Surely the Ubuntu install is no easier than Debian, especially for
experienced users like yourself. I don't remember anything from Ubuntu
that I can't get on Debian.

So, what is the advantage to using Ubuntu?
