I use that on my own machines. The Debian base feels more suited for my
use than an RPM based system. There are frequent security updates and
I've never had a virus.

Neither has the computer, for that matter...

Mike,
Speaking of Ubuntu, downloaded the 8.10 version, installed it and
could not, for any reason, get the Network Manager to connect me to my
DHCP router. I heard that this is a problem. Everything else looked
nice, but no internet connectivity! I went on the Linux forums and
this is a problem that they say is being fixed in the 9.04 release. I
have a separate NIC card, no onboard, and old 3Com, it shows up, but
no go. What did you do to connect?
