Leaving aside the ensuing debate on 'freeness': Debian gives to access to the full Debian universe in 3 flavours: stable, testing and unstable Ubuntu is derived from Debian but not all debian packages will run on it. They polish their distro and provide their own package repository. Knoppix is also debian derived and is used as a base by a number of other distros. FWIW, thus far, although I run sid, I've found kubuntu (KDE based ubuntu) to be the distro that I'd give to someone who wanted a drop in replacement for windows without having to learn about Debian or pay for support.
