Hi Ron,
it is targeted to the desktop user like knoppix, lycoris, etc.
Some DD's have reported using for it for stricly desktop use on extra computers.
Ubuntu is not meant to be a debian replacement. Anyone who uses Ubuntu and
wants 'more' can only but look to install Debian. Mark Shuttleworth is
trying to spread the gospel of FLOSS. He is funding Ubuntu and other
FLOSS inititaives. He is providing incentives ($$) for people to aid
this effort to fix the projects he creates. And of course, Ubuntu will
be feeding back most improvements to Debian. So Debian provides all the
power needed by semi- and power users and Ubuntu is like Debian with
training wheels -- shiny, easy to use, free support for 18 mon. and 6
mon. release cycles.
