remember, if Debian ever shuts down.. which is next to impossible, there
will be no ubuntu.. ubuntu will need those deb packages to add more shine
too
I can understand that might have never used Ubuntu with anything more
than the first created user who has sudo privileges by default. If you
have ever tried to add more users you wouldn't have said that. Second,
if ever Debian shutdowns then half the GNU/Linux distros will be in, not
exactly trouble, but in a very tight position. Remember it's FOSS, so
even when the main project shuts its door down at sometime, you can take
up from that point and carry it further. Using these two reasons for not
using Ubuntu (or the second reason for not using Debian or it's
derivatives) is pretty lame.
