I apologize, I have a bad habit of misreading/misinterpreting
thoughts. :-(
What I meant to say was Debian isn't simple to install, and they do seem
to slack off compared to other distro's installers. I feel this is
justified to the strength of apt and dpkg (Debian's Package Management
System) which outperforms all other package management systems I've
dealt with to date.
If you can get beyond the install difficulties in Debian, you may find
that you won't ever have to install it on that box again, respectively.

It took me a while. I'm on the average much slower compared to the
majority of the people on this list. If I can do it, you can do it.
