I expected it to look like Ubuntu but without the layer of "we do it
all for you" tools, without obnoxiating Plymouth, and more configurable
with Vim.
I didn't expect a lot of the little differences in networking, in
Dovecot, etc. That being said, they're much more similar to each other
than either is to, let's say, Fedora or FreeBSD. Debian and Ubuntu both
use apt-get and dpkg and synaptic and aptitude: If I know one I can
kind of limp along in the other.
