I can sympathize.  Last January I bought a computer that came with 
windows 7.  I tried it for about a month and was thoroughly disgusted 
with how difficult everything was in windows 7.  M$ made it so ******* 
difficult to network two computers together.   In xp it was a simple 
task.  Also some games I have don't run right on 7. I ended up getting 
rid of 7 and putting xp on the machine.  Then in November I got tired of 
xp, removed it and replaced it with kubuntu and I'm happy with it.

You say you run Debian.  How does Debian differ from ubuntu/kubuntu?
