I started on Debian and I will die using Debian. I have used Ubuntu before, and I admit it is a good way for Debian to get new features like an upstream or something.

Ditto. Toyed with RH and Mandrake back in the day, but quickly moved to Debian and have been there since. Played with Ubuntu and a couple smaller niche distros, but always came back to good ol' Deborah.

I'll try debian again when they move to a yearly release. Using nearly two year old software in the worst case really sucks for some use cases.

there is always testing and unstable - if you want something fresher. i personally run unstable for past 20 years. i think i had serious breakage only once
