Each to their own, and choice is a wonderful thing etc. but I think it's
worth pointing out that Ubuntu makes Long Term Support (LTS) releases,
which guarantee bug and security fixes for three years on the desktop and
five years on the server. That's pretty long term, IMHO.
I'm not too sure what Phillip means by "rolling release" though. Both
Debian and Ubuntu have allow for in-place upgrades and running development
versions.
