To be exact Ubunti ~= (a snapshot of Debian unstable) with some
massaging and extra testing. Which fact explains why Ubuntu
development releases are a rough ride a la Debian unstable.

Now that I have the Debian experience from running Ubuntu, I probably
should make the cutover to Debian testing, since I prefer the
continuous upgrade approach rather than the massive upgrade or start
over every 6 months.
