Pfff. Real men use Debian, the real thing, not the "debian based" hype. :)

I use Debian GNU/Linux for my desktops and laptops (lenny/testing with some sid/unstable plus custom things) and servers (etch/stable with some volatile and custom things) and I am very happy, never had any problem, always serving me with great stability and security.

At some point I had tried Ubuntu for desktops/laptops/servers and very quickly I replaced it with Debian for all machines (desktops/laptops/servers), never looking back.

May I ask whether you really tried Debian at all in the Wikimedia server farm before choosing Ubuntu?
