Witch one for server: Debian or Ubuntu

Hi,
I need to upgrade my 2 years old server running Debian for a AMD 64bit.
My server needs are samba, apache (internal) Firebird SQL, Python
and VNC remote administration (I'm using SSH).
My dilemma is shall I continue with debian or move to Ubuntu 6.04!

Thanks for your help.

Are you changing hardware? If you keep debian, you can always

Code:

dpkg --get-selections > myselections.txt

then transfer that to the new machine and

Code:

dpkg --set-selections < myselections.txt

dselect update

apt-get dselect-upgrade

This will give you all the same programs you had installed on the old hardware.

If the hardware is the same, you can just apt-get a 64bit kernel...
