There is some info https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-whats-new.en.html#hardening http://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/ubuntu-and-debian https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianImportFreeze Practically Ubuntu is snapshot of Debian testing with some Debian unstable packages with unity desktop. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_%28user_interface%29 I think at with security related there are very little of differencies and most in case you can quite easily enable security mechanics to Debian if some is enabled default at Ubuntu but not in Wheezy. https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/index.en.html There are some differencies root vs sudo, but i think at overall security level is quite same, but Ubuntu's universe repo isn't same level at quality as Ubuntu's main. I think at Debian owns bigger high quality repos than Ubuntu, but Ubuntu have newer packages, but for me Wheezy is enough bleeding edge even with desktop. Yes i know there lot of differnt opions about stable and desktop use, but for me i am quite satisfied today's policy which upgrades browser's, firmwares at timely manner.
