Speaking as a .deb zealot who moves freely between Debian, SuSE,
Kubuntu, Slackware, Gentoo and Fedora on at least a weekly basis, 
I'll back up Glenn and Jesse here too.  If what you mostly know is RPMish,
you've got a bit of a learning curve ahead.  If that prospect pleases
you, have at!

One quibble with Glenn.  If you're considering commercial-grade use on a
64-bit server, think about Debian Etch rather than *buntu.  I'm quite 
disappointed with the number of problems in recent Kubuntu, especially
64-bit flavors.  OTOH I've had absolutely zero unexpected problems on 
the (maybe still, haven't looked) pre-release Debian 64-bit support.
