[lug] k(ubuntu) vs. debian testing

[durist at frii.com]

I'm considering switching my machine from debian testing to ubuntu. I'm 
interested in doing this because ubuntu seems to have a nice predictable 
release cycle, and also because I'm frustrated with updates in debian testing 
breaking things (most recently the mdadm-raid package, which broke things to 
the point where my machine, which is set up as RAID-1, wouldn't boot; I 
realize I'm running "testing"; I don't really care if some random IRC client 
gets hosed, but the RAID boot process???). It seems ubuntu should be more 
stable; but is it? Or maybe it's too early to tell?

Anyway, I'm curious about general opinions of ubuntu vs. debian testing, as 
well as anyone's conversion experience (software more than religious!). I've 
read that it's pretty nearly just changing the apt repositories and doing an 
upgrade, but I'm dubious... 

I also know there's some politics brewing between the ubuntu and debian 
development communities, but I'd rather not get into that...
