Assuming that you didn't think I was asking "what's your favorite distro," can I in fact point my /etc/apt/sources.list at a Debian server and have it update/upgrade without breaking things? There's the additional concern that I have hardware, particularly video, that pretty much demands binary drivers, and if memory serves Debian is highly allergic to those. --
Ubuntu is one of the many Debian-derived distros, lot of packages in the Ubuntu repository comes from Debian repository. For many things, I would expect things to just work once have a Debian + TDE setup and you copy over your config.
If you are looking at converting an existing Ubuntu system to something else, things may get broken. I usually create a new system and copy over my config. But Debian is definitely a good choice if you want to try it, given Ubuntu comes out of that.
