Why to use a Debian based OS if you can use Debian?

I second that.

So you feel more vanilla is better, is this?
I prefer chocolate... ;-)
Now seriously, I admit I did not try out ubuntu and my decision was
based only on impression from reading ubuntu and debian publications,
mailing lists, etc.
I had the impression that ubuntu's claim-to-fame was being closer to
the cutting-edge, while debian's was stability.
I am a home user, with no formal education whatsoever in system
administration and computers.
But after trying RedHat, Fedora, Centos, I got tired from trying to
maintain a stable PC system for home use with these distributions.
Debian was the first to provide me with a good mixture of stability
and concurrency with latest advances in computer technology.
Yes, I have to sweat on doing simple things, like configuring exim4 to
send out email to my public address.
But the good thing in Debian for me is: I feel that once Ilearn to do
something, the knowledge will stay with me, and will be relevant for
quite some time in the future.
Hope this helps.
