The recommended proceedure is to install the released Debian bits. It does not appear that you tried the released bits but only the testing bits. Obviously in testing things are testing and might not work. If after you have installed the released bits you want to take your machine to the bleeding edge them change your /etc/apt/sources.list from 'stable' to 'testing' or 'unstable'. It is very easy. apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade Note that unstable is today's build. The weather there changes daily. Depending upon which parts of the ocean you are traversing that day things are either great or stormy. YMMV. Bob P.S. s/apt-get/aptitude/g to prevent the ensuing discussion there.
