Well, thank you to all respondents.
It would seem it is *not* just me, so I will relax and just keep
testing: noting that people have better experience with the desktop version.

I have startlingly few issues with Debian overall (apart from the
release schedule - which is why I am tempted to Ubuntu). Our
infrastrucure is running Etch and is utterly stable. And I would have to
say the same for CentOS.
On the desktop however Etch is rather elderly...
