If you want a server, I would only trust Debian stable and CentOS to power my data. For the desktop, I see no reason why Debian GNU/Linux doesn't fit the bill either. I have it installed on a workstation, two laptops, a netbook and a virtual machine, all without any headache (there is an annoyance with the netbook, actually, but minor). The only reason I can see usuing Ubuntu is if you like the direction they are taking with their operating system (UbuntuOne, MeMenu, notifications, etc). In terms of hardware, I don't have any additional problems getting Debian installed, with everything working out of the box, than Ubuntu. -- . O . O . O . . O O . . . O . . . O . O O O . O . O O . .
