I have been fighting with this damned Debian 3.1 - Sergeant Wolly or some such
- and I can't even print. I have also installed JRE, but I haven't found out
how to connect it to Firefox.
I can't downlosd from my digital camera.
I can only play a few of the video formats out on the web. There doesn't seem
to be any one that will play them all, or, failing that, convert to a format
that will play on what I have (Totem, RealPlayer which doesn't really work).
Every time I go looking for solutions I wind up going in circles and drowning
in a mass of half-baked how-to's and advice on how to run files that no longer
exist or led from one useless document to another as I RTFM. Well, boys and
girls, so far any FM I have encountered is NFG or NWAPOCS (Not Worth A
Pinch...). I can't say that it's not entertaining, but I need a complete
operating system and not some ill-fitting patches.
Before anyone decides to engage in infantile gibberish, otherwise known as
rants or flames, don't waste my time.
What I really want to know is why this is so difficult to put together and how
it can be done without me becoming a systems engineer. Not that I'd mind, it's
just that, currently, I just don't have the time.

Instead of pointlessly ranting about Debian, why don't you post a
meaningful question? Tell us the model of the digital camera, and tell
us what program you're trying to use to interact with it.
And like Chris said, if you don't like Debian you should try Ubuntu;
It's generally easier to do most tasks on Ubuntu, but is not suitable if
you're using Linux for well, Linux.
