I still don't understand why you would switch to Ubuntu. Unstable is
everything Ubuntu is and more. Unstable has larger repositories, a
more stable user base, and Debian Sid is generally more stable than *
release of Ubuntu (Even if Ubuntu is directly based on Sid, whatever
they do to it kills some of the stability).
And for servers you can always run Etch and apt-pin whatever you need
from Sid. Of course you can do that in Ubuntu too, but the thing I've
never understood is that in Ubuntu you aren't even SUPPOSED to
apt-pin, because Edgy packagers aren't compatible with Dapper,
likewise Feisty and Edgy.
