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?
