When I moved from Debian Testing to Ubuntu a few years ago, the
learning curve was minimal if not nonexistent. Ubuntu takes a freeze
of Debian Unstable and then basically does bug squashing to get it in
shape for release. They add a few things here and there but most of
that goes upstream as well. I love Debian but I just got tired of
having to hassle with making new software fit haphazardly in. If you
do have a learning curve it would be more from newer releases (gnome,
etc) than from the difference in the distros.
