Sure, now. What about just a few months ago when I was waiting for Etch to go stable so that 2.16 would get into unstable? Or 3 months from now when I have 2.20 the day it comes out on my Ubuntu install?
So I should have been more specific when said why I use Ubuntu and not Debian. With Ubuntu I always get the latest Gnome. It's great that Debian unstable has 2.18 now, but It's certainly not guaranteed to have any given Gnome release when it comes out. Nor is any other distro besides Forsight Linux.

Why, sid in not accessible by editing /etc/apt/sources.list ? Give me a break...
Ubuntu don't add nothing to open source, I repeat NOTHING, only troubles in Debian realm.And Linux don't need the "polishment" (if that matter to you take the "all thing" - Windows, after all is not expensive).
Do you care about unique features see:
-Red Hat (selinux,middleware)
-Sun (java,opensolaris)
-OpenBSD

What unique/usefull feature gave us ubuntu (that debian don't had)?
Well i will say Ubuntu is slik and for new people it doesn't confuse what packages needs to install for desktop computer? Also it has consistant theme accross the ubuntu icons/colors/menus which gives a soothing feel.
While appreciating ubuntu I dont want to forget and bottom line... Ubuntu exists because of Debian... debian is like a God of all distros... but for new people Ubuntu is best start... What Debian never managed to do Ubuntu has done in short time... that is attracting people to use Linux!

- a stripped down release with a few applications
- a brushed up GUI
- regular and _reliable_ release dates
- focus: desktop
I am no Ubuntu fanboy, but Ubuntu has only taken Debian and has made a unique desktop of it. I personally think Debian should have done it for years, but the y didn't do it. I'd still prefer Ubuntu to be a Debian desktop project ...

If you are a ubuntu regular user, please, tell me:
What unique/usefull feature gave us ubuntu (that debian don't had)?
P.S.
If you gave me only one I will be more happy :-)
