Debian is often used as a base for other Linux distribution because it is very easy to customize. Debian derivative distributions can quite easily change just about anything compared to pristine Debian (otherwise it would be a Debian Pure Blend), like changing various defaults (from default bash prompt to init system), recompiling (with different options or for processors that are not supported by Debian) and/or patching packages, to introducing packages that Debian doesn't provide at all for various reasons (policy, lack of resources, etc.). > So there is a GUI widget to manage proprietary drivers: > http://admin.sibptus.ru/~vas/nvidia.jpg As far as I know, while Ubuntu does import some 80+% of source packages[1] unchanged from Debian they diverge a lot especially in the graphical user interface area, including (non-free) drivers. [1] packages must be recompiled for Ubuntu because of the different freeze / release cycles. Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
