Very slow. They just released Debian 7.
I've tried upgrading Ubuntu from one version

Debian's been no problem at all with upgrades. Even successfully changed
from stable to sid once simply by changing my repositories.
Upgraded Sid on my desktop machine today, 440+ upgraded packages, and it
works flawlessly.
Good to know. I am not sure what debian's release schedule is, but the
freeze seems to be a lot longer than Ubuntu does.
The freeze ran pretty long this time. (Which helped make me confident
about doing an upgrade, I figured things had been pretty well tested
before they finally moved into Sid.)
That would give more
time for testing. Also UbuntuStudio is a) a very small team. b) a very
different install. That is, the mix of applications and their attached
libs is greater than any other ubuntu.
I have found it very frustrating that something simple like a video player
needs to be switched almost every release to find one that works.
Hmm, haven't encountered that. But Mplayer's my player of choice.
