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...
