Richard,
actually to say that dragora is not as easy to setup than ubuntu is an 
error on my side
well actually dragora is a "KISS" keep it simple and stupid distro (its 
a fundamental unix philosophy )
ubuntu on the other hand takes the click to install all GUI no brainier 
approach to everything thus most those so called devs use it , we at 
dragora work on UNIX principals set into foundation by hackers over a 
course of history constituting more than 35 years and noob friendly 
distros like the *buntus have destroyed the very thing we stand for , 
and as always YMMV (your mileage may vary )
if you have what it takes to be a tinkerer an hobbyist an inventor , we 
welcome you with open hearts to the community but if you think we will 
spoon feed you like the ubuntu people do please don't be delusional   by 
thinking so , for example ; no we will not flame you for asking what 
"gnu make" is or what "gcc" is
but we will if you don't read the output of "man gcc " and  "man make" 
since reading documentation is an integral part of learning anything in 
*nix land i suggest you read
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unix_Programming_Environment (i highly 
recommend this book)

before you ask questions ( i think we all have read those before we 
started appreciating UNIX) but if you are looking for an OS as just a 
means to an end then i suggest you stay with *buntu or another noob 
friendly distro ,cause we the true *nixers at dragora "live and die" for 
and  with our OS , if you have a similar attitude then we welcome you if 
not , then i can't say for sure
sorry if this may have sounded like a rant (it isn't) its actually an 
important reality check for new people

Happy hacking everyone :)
