What's the difference/advantage of Ubuntu compared with Debian?

It's prettier. Um. And the man in charge of it has flown into space.

... and also it's prettier.

That's about all that comes immediately to mind.

I haven't used other flavors of Linux, Ubuntu is the one I have some idea about what I am doing with so I am sticking with what I am familiar with, I have been on Ubuntu since just after xmas.

Its on its way! I have had an E-mail to say they have shipped the computer

I am typing this on the new computer, arrived today, installed the operating system this evening and apart from some trouble configuring the E-Mail, my fault, simple and straight forward and it works a treat.

beanzontoast if you go onto the site before you buy you can set up an account and save a quote and it could get you a small amount of and priority dispatch. I did that and got a fiver of the system, not much I know but the system under cut everybody else by a lot., and delivery in a week instead of the normal fortnight
