The main difference between Xebian and Debian is that most packets for Xebian has been recompiled for the kernel that has some Xbox security workaround.
But I've tested installing debian packages in Xebian, and it works. I got KDE up and running & all, very good.
If Ubuntu Installs, my guess is that you'd have to patch the kernel to get it to boot. I could be wrong.
Also it's fairly easy to edit the latest Xebian ISO image to your own liking: Just put in the packages you need from one of these stable Debian distros: Debian 3.0 (a.k.a. woody) or Debian 3.1 (a.k.a. sarge).
I think it was sarge packages I used.
Or, you can always install Xebian to the harddrive of the xbox, then configure dpkg to download the packages from a debian ftp.
If you're on dhcp, just enter "dhclient" as root to get an ip address.
