Last time I looked, about 6 months ago, Raspbian didn't get timely security updates, and the only low-maintenance distros that supported RPi & had their patching act together seemed to be Ubuntu & SuSe. Debian doesn't support the RPi.<p>Even if you put the RPi on your network "just for fun", it can cause much havoc when someone pwns it and joins it to a botnet or uses it as a stepping stone into your home network.
