Well, although Debian Testing comes in tens of CDs, thatīs only for those that want the whole shebang. You can download only the first CD and be done with it,so there goes your reason.
And for those that donīt want GNOME for one reason or other as their default DE (like me), they can download the alternate CD with either KDE or XFCE or just download netinstall (less than 200Mb), install a bare system and build upon that which is not nearly as hard as it sounds.
I tried Ubuntu (well, Kubuntu actually) once and although I didnīt have any hardware problem with it, it was close to the worst experience that I had with Linux so far due to its instability and small glitches everywhere. I think that once you get used to its quirks, Debian Testing is much better than Ubuntu overall.
