"The desktop is almost non-existent"????  My god, my life for the past
three years has been an illusion... I thought I'd been using a GUI
desktop but it appears I have been dreaming.  Thanks APC, for setting me
straight.

Seriously Bret... don't believe everything you read.  Debian *can* be a
little difficult to install but using it in a meaningful way is no
harder than using any Linux distribution.

Then don't whinge about upgrading it.  You can't complain about
something when you have the option to change.  You could have brought
your old RH box to the installfest and had someone upgrade it to Debian.
