Also, Debian is more configurable with Vim, doesn't require you to install a GUI, and has less whacko dependencies (Plymouth, anyone?). With Debian, if you want to boot to CLI and run startx, by George, you're free to do that. When I have an extremely RAM starved computer, I put Debian on it every time. CLI Network install works with almost no RAM, and granular choices of things to install guarantees I'll have a small system. The one problem I've had with Debian is on new notebook computers (UEFI, GPF, Secure Boot etc) on which I want to keep the original Windows and dual-boot. With Ubuntu, it's almost impossible to screw this up. With Debian, I've screwed it up twice.
