This is a personally opinion: I tried it, since I have an AMD64 and I am not happy with Debian-pure64. Ubuntu was not bad, but I do not like it's "I-decide-for-you"-style, i.e. it asks not enough questions during installation, has no "modconf" (doesn't compile for them), and when I googled how to get modconf I found an answer from a developer "You should normally not need modconf, since Ubuntu should discover all modules automatically. Which hardware is not running?". Well, I dropped Suse (and Windows previously) since *I* want to "detect" and "manage" my stuff, not a automatically-something-tool. And at the end of installation I found myself with postfix instead of exim. Since my machine has no brain yet I don't allow it to make decisions. So I dropped Ubuntu and continue to use debian-sid-x86. I personally think, Ubuntu is a good starting-distribution for Newbies, but not for average+ users.
