It was summed up for me at the time by the joke "Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning 'can't install Debian'".
Their focus on getting stuff installed and working was a big deal then.

I believe Knoppix was the first to formalize the debian live cd concept—I don't think they did the major work for supporting hardware and supporting installation from the live cd.
