Ubuntu has more automated processes whereas in Debian you got to do some things manually. I have used Sarge and Etch testing. In Debian if you put in a usb pen drive, it loads it but has to be accessed in a browser by entering its path.
I think there is a default udev rule that mounts a USB drive, yes.
In Ubuntu it shows a nice icon on the desktop that you can double click.
I think that is also a Gnome/KDE default (I don't run either, so I can't say). As far as I know, dbus + hal are working in Etch; if not, a bug report should be sent in.
There are more examples but I can't recollect them all. Debian is excellent for console. Ubuntu for GUI.
I almost never use the console when running Debian, and so far, I find Debian quite excellent in a graphical mode.
Though one thing I must add that except for Sarge where it worked, I have been struggling and unable to share my printer over the network till today. I have to get files into my pen drive and paste them on the main printer machine.
What are the details of the network printer? For me, I either use the ipp address or set things up as remote ldp's using cups.
