Only problem with Ubuntu is its non-debian packages (as in, they have
their own), which may make your life a little difficult. A solution
is to add debian sources (repositories of packages) to Ubuntu's
Synaptic package management application, but actually, it's worth
just using Debian from the start. Caveat: Ubuntu had some really
smart bunnies working for it, and its install will catch most
hardware (except Acer laptops, as reported recently here); so, unless
you -know- your hardware is Linux supported, maybe you do want to
start on Ubuntu first.
