Debian netinst
Last nite I downloaded the business card CD edition of the Debian stable net-install CD. I love having an excuse to use those business card CDs!
What I like about this (and wonder why Ubuntu doesn’t offer a net-install CD) is 1) its super light. Anything small enough for a business card CD is impressive to me. I’ve got DSL in my planner as well. 2) When I can download the packages via mirrors.xmission.com and Utopia I get everything VERY fast. I think my average download was ~12Mbps. Gotta love in-network Utopia downloads.
For any of you familiar with both Debian and Ubuntu. Is there any drastic differences in the two that I should know? I’m really familiar with Ubuntu and, so far, they seem similar enough. I’m just curious if there are areas where Ubuntu really forked off.

AFAIK, *Ubuntu is more user friendly, while Debian is more hardcore. But both are the samething, at all.
Debian is much more stable, while *Ubuntu is an edge distro.
HTH,
