Hi! This isn't much of an answer, I guess, but perhaps better than nothing: Debian is sort of three different distributions, stable, which is really stable, testing and unstable. Stable is for those who do not want to spend a lot of time figuring out things that are wrong. It just works, with no glitches. Testing and to an even greater extent Unstable is bleeding edge. They are probably among the most up-to-date things you can find, but as you've noticed, you'd bump into issues now and then that are harder to analyze. For that reason, they are mainly for testing and development, for those who can address that kind of issues easily on their own. There's a page about KDE in Debian at http://wiki.debian.net/?DebianKDE but I can't see anything of help to you there. If you can't perhaps Debian is not for you. It can be pretty tough to work with, and there are many things that need to be learnt. If you want to learn it to the bottom, there will always be people willing to help. I started right into Debian as a newbie, but I had 7 years of experience as a UNIX user and a good friend in meatspace to hold my hand... :-) I suppose that since you're new, you would probably want to find a flavour of Linux that's easier to get started with. People here tend to recommend Xandros http://www.xandros.com/ or Libranet http://www.libranet.com/ as they are both based on Debian.
