Ubuntu versus Debian
It is time for me to reinstall my laptop. What should I choose as the main OS? Debian is pretty cool and lightweight as compared to Ubuntu. Unfortunately, the trend is not too good. Ubuntu, on the other hand requires a little more resources than Debian. The interestingly fact is that the trend is showing me something else. Have a look at this live trend from Google . Otherwise, this is as of February 25, 2012. Ubuntu is blue. Debian is red. I can see Debian is getting less popular, but I couldn't install the resource hungry Ubuntu, so proceeded with Debian 6 (Squeeze).
