jesus.
first, ubuntu is based on a snapshot of Debian Sid (unstable).
second, the hardware detection in debian is good. I've had no problems with my ATI cards (fglrx drivers are non-free and must be installed separately (deb repos: <a href="http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html)" title="virgilio.it">http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian<nobr>/<wbr></nobr> fglrx-installer.html)</a virgilio.it>).
third, GUI installers are not needed. Textmode is slicker and less 60Hz-headache-inducing hell, AND NO MORE DIFFICULT.
And OF COURSE you can choose manually which packages to install during install. *sigh*.
