Like I said before, if you want an easy to use desktop system...try Ubuntu. They release security fixes in a timely fashion and test the setups themselves. It really is easy to use and is worth your time. If you don't like Debian, please try Ubuntu or another offshoot of it because I think you will be much happier. On another note, anyone that said Debian was a "joy-gasm" probably also mentioned that it really is a difficult setup to use for home use. It really just wasn't designed with that in mind.
