Might I suggest considering an option a little closer in heritage to what you’re using now…

I'm considering dropping Ubuntu myself - I have all sorts of weird redraw and crashing issues across multiple apps, and the final straw for me was an upgrade stranding me in 800x600 (as opposed to my more usual 1600x1200) for an hour until I figured out with the help of a bunch of googling, reading log files and some creative thinking what I could put into xorg.conf to fix it.<p/>But if/when I do I'll definitely be going back to Debian. I liked things better when releases didn't even matter because I could just run testing... Fair enough.
