I never used Ubuntu so can't make an accurate comparison.  But I've
been using Debian Testing (Lenny) for the past couple months now and I
haven't really had any problems to speak of.  It is plenty stable.  It
uses Gnome 2.24.1 but I use SVN orca because I want to keep up with
the latest accessibility stuff.  In several ways, I would say that
Gnome / Orca under Debian has proven to be more stable and more robust
under Debian than with Slackware and Dropline.  No complaints here; I
would go for it, if I were you.  You don't have to wory about that
pulse audio garbage either.
