Ubuntu combines Debian's wealth of packages with a higher degree of ease
of use - it's certainly a very nice development platform.

Be aware, however, that Ubuntu 5.10 (breezy) ships a broken preliminary
version of ruby 1.8.3*. If you want to debug threaded apps, you'll need
to compile your own ruby.

Cheers,
Paulus
