The blog says, page 2: "...that Ubuntu offers nothing new other than a slick Debian makeover...".
Ubuntu is a practical and run-it-now Debian. I like Debian but for each version you must download and burn 6 or 7 DVDs (??), including the Klingon version. Debian should have a 1 DVD version, like OpenSuse and Fedora, the long version with enough plastic to build a Fisher-Price kitchen.

Er... No. :-)

Try a net install: http://debian.org/CD/netinst/

It's just the base system. Once it's up and running you can apt-get and download whatever else you need. If installing multiple systems, it's best to setup an apt proxy and cache the packages, anyhow.

"I like Debian but for each version you must download and burn 6 or 7 DVDs"

You should read before downloading ;-)

From http://debian.org/CD/torrent-cd :
"The first CD/DVD disk contains all the files necessary to install a standard Debian system.
To avoid needless downloads, please do not download other CD or DVD image files unless you know that you need packages on them."

"It's also difficult for the average community sponsored distribution to compete with a company that can afford to pay for public relations staff and send out CDs for free to anyone who asks." Waa waa waa. Too bad for the "other" linux distro communities. If they were creating a superior product, then the market would reflect that and they would have the funds.

"If they were creating a superior product, then the market would reflect that and they would have the funds."

The market does not reflect a superior product. McDonald's fast food restaurants --QED.
