Ask HN: Debian 8 or Ubuntu?

I am going to update one of my servers (linux, apache, mysql, php) in the comming months. Should I use Debian 8 (it will come out this year, right?) or some flavour of Ubuntu?My main goal is: A server that just works and gets security updates. For as long as possible.

What does that mean?

All in all, I love it.

I am living off what I made with my last startup and work fulltime on my new startup. Most days I jump out of the bed and start working 7am in the morning. And often I am still working at midnight.

The one thing that bugs me: I decided to not travel until my current venture is making 5 figures per month. I miss traveling. I am looking forward to the time when money is pouring in again and I can take a one way flight to wherever I like. And stay in some comfortable airbnb apartment or upper class hotel room for as long as I like. That's what I was doing when my last startup was flourishing. Now that I am living off my savings it would feel somehow wrong to do that.

I can relate to bionic's description "living in a dimension outside of space, time, matter, mass and gravity". It's all my own rules. My own goals. My own story that nobody around me can relate to.
