Re: upgrading ubuntu to debian

Just get a debian cd (check architecture) and boot. When it asks what to do
tell it to format the entire hard drive and install Debian. Or did you want
to keep some aspects of Ubuntu?

I just bought a computer that came with ubuntu and would like to switch
it to pure debian. Is there a standard way to do this that someone
could point me to?

(Though I will say that little hack where the shell tells you which
package a program is in looks pretty cute and helpful :)

Thanks,
Britton
