[LUNI] What distro are you using?

I have just installed Ubuntu on my laptops and like it, but I think I may be 
going back to Debian just because I'd like a little more control over what is 
initially installed.
It just depends on whether I want to play around or just keep working, I have 
no real problems with Ubuntu.
I am just curious how a stock Debian install will work.
Ubuntu has worked fine on the laptops (Toshiba Satellite A205-S5804)
The only issue is the wireless card, which I knew about before purchasing.
A realtek that sits on the USB bus.
I've gotten it working unencrypted, but haven't gotten WEP working yet.
I haven't run Red Hat in years, so no comparison there.
If you just want to get up and running quickly then Ubuntu seems to be a great 
workstation distro.
Just remember there is no root account, the initial account can sudu for root 
access.
