Debian Newbie

[Vittorio De Martino]

I've been using RedHat 6.2 and 7.0 for about a year and now I think I'm ready 
to have a go at some other Linux distro.  Being fascinated by Debian 
stability and real "Open Source" nature I put the following straightforward 
preliminary questions:
Migrating to Debian potato can I have a USB working 
support (for an Epson  scanner)  as I have now  automatically set up under 
RH7?
Is there any user-friendly utility to setup X  (I'm using KDE2 at this very 
moment)? 
Thanks and CIAO
