OK, enough people have reacted with "I like the whirling gears"
that I retract that portion of my earlier comments, but still insist
on these three things:
1. Debian should have an "express" install option which assumes
that 90% of its defaults are going to be ok, thereby avoiding

You might want to make that
ps auxwww

to give users the ability to execute a few commands on your system,
without being able to do anything else ).

Just to be sure, check that you don't have an IRQ conflict, or a conflict

something not often used, you might only see the problem when both
devices tried to operate at the same time--and a large file transfer
would increase
Wait... wait... I have one: is emacs as feature-rich as vim? Or how
about this: is Debian as good as Slackware? Or... perhaps... even...
is pine as feature rich as mutt?
If you're not careful here you're going to start an enormous flame war,
