Lets turn this bit of flame baiting into something positive.
Check out module-assistant, now go look around for modules needed by your hardware. Doesn't matter if they're proprietory or open.
I'm using rt2500 modules (open), the most recent alsa (open), nVidia, Intel, Sis, Ati (proprietory)
Compile them up and use them. You have now become one up on yuppy newbies who 'just luv Ubuntu' you have functionality and security and your getting your hands dirty learning how Linux works.
When Debian release security update kernels, they will stay the same # 2.6-8-X your modules still work without recompiling. I'm using Mozilla 1.7.8 but it has all security updates. All Debian packages get security updates through the magic of apt-get update/upgrade, when only the best is good enough.
