Ubuntu is a little ahead of Debian in terms of some of the cluster  
software it contains.  For example, gluster is in Ubuntu 8.10, but is  
not in Debian Lenny.  It is in Debian's development tree, but won't  
hit a production Debian release for God knows how long.  :-)  You can  
always install Ubuntu without any of the GUI gubbins.
