Last year I got a new computer with WIN7 too and got rid of it within two weeks.

Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian.

Thanks to all for all the suggestions. After wasting several days trying

It is incomprehensible and unconscionable that M$ is so determined to make
everything so impossibly convoluted and difficult. Viva Linux.

I completely agree. My step daughter moved in for a few weeks and I got
to play with her Win7 netbook. After two days of wrestling with the way
M$ wanted you to do things, I said thanks but no thanks, and that was
with her showing me how and me reading a big manual she had with her.

God how I love my Debian and it's not a matter of what I'm used to!

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?
