[PLUG] Disto question

[Christian]

Personally,
I prefer Debian. I have had very little issues. I have recently 
installed Ubuntu (Breezy). It was built off of Debian. Both have run 
very well on my old piece-o-crud laptop. (Sony Vaio 700cpu, 128 RAM, 
wireless nic Cisco). I am not as *into* Ubuntu as I am Debian, so I will 
probably reinstall Debian soon.
