Sounds like I ought to revisit Debian installation . . .

Real Debian is getting pretty good these days - it's smaller and
faster than Ubuntu and the default Gnome desktop is much the same. It
was just that getting firmware for my wifi card and so on was a bit of
a pain. It is vastly easier to get up and running than it used to be -
ironically, one of the main reasons Ubuntu itself was created. Debian
is catching up and itself is now a sort of quite viable "Ubuntu
Light".
Indeed - I found this recently and started a thread about it. The
proprietary driver issue is a bit of a pig, but I have full respect for
where the Debian project is coming from. I'm running a few Debian servers
around the place now and loving it, and the desktop I have runs like a charm
- as I have suggested previously it seems surprisingly fast from a cold
start compared to my last Ubuntu install.
My first thoughts when installing for the first time in a while was "When
did Debian get a graphical installer??"
