My next step, after installing the basic Debian system, is to switch the install to Ubuntu. Changing one file (/etc/apt/sources.list) and running a few commands, should do the trick.

Open Source is Dead. What I mean is that open source, as we knew it, is dead. For the last decade, what we've been talking about when we say "open source" is "open code" -- a set of zeroes and ones that we can configure to our heart's desire. Long Live Open Source.
