Which one should I choose?

I read RMS’s entire bio an I don’t recall Debian ever popping up in it. I love (and need to install the most recent version of ubuntu, but hard drive is messed at present) linux; it’s my fave OS by far! Peaceful, great community, open source, good beliefs and mentality etc.

I know GNU is rms’s deal, gpl and the like. GNU’s not unix I understand GNU and linux completely; don’t understand debian.
linux is linus torvald’s kernal
I don’t understand why and how almost all gnu/linux packages are .deb?? WTF is going on ?

Is software for linux called "debian"? If so, that seems annoying ridiculous. what’s going on with that? cheers. thanks.
Can you install Debian os/gui like GNOME/GNU? IF so, why do I rarely ever see such OS?
To what does debian refer?

GNU refers to the non-kernal part of "linux"?

I read about it on Linux Mint’s site

But it doesn’t have much information.
This edition is based on Debian; like the main edition is based on Ubuntu, So whats the real difference? is it faster, better, more stable and reliable than the Ubuntu based edition?

Another question: Isn’t Ubuntu based on Debian in the first place? then why have that said that its not compatible with Ubuntu?

Final question: Which main Distro is better- Ubuntu or Debian?

Hi I am using linux debian on an old imac g3. I have gotten the web server up to a point where I can see the ‘It Works’ page but now what? I want to add Joomla to it but I don’t know how to make it load like cpanel does. Help!

I heard you can do it on Linux, I also heard you can use Debian. I like Linux better, is there anyway I can do this on the newest version of Ubuntu (Linux) Gnome.

Is this a sign of a complete break from Ubuntu and if it is would it affect the popularity of Linux Mint in any way.

Dual boot with windows, The grub installer when the system boots does not pause for long enough for me, I want to make it take longer does anyone know how?

I am developing a small embedded debian linux device with firefox/iceweasel and a 7" touchscreen display. I need to create a custom action/response/page/redirect when the device boots and can not connect to the network (i.e. some 4xx http error, can’t reach http://www.linux.org/). Is there something built into firefox? If not, any other ideas? Thank You!!!

I installed GAdmin with ProFTPD on my debian 5 system, setup a virtual user, I added a home directory and set the permissions through the GUI to allow everything, write, rename etc. This allows the user to upload into that home directory, but if they browse to a sub directory they cannot upload. How do I make it so that they can upload and delete files to all the subdirectories within a specific directory?
The first answer didn’t work. The problem is i cannot upload files to subdirectories through FTP.

I have a laptop someone gave me with a full linux Debian OS on it. I have windows setup disc so now all I have to do is change the boot-up sequence and windows setup will automatically repartition my hard drive?
