Starting Debian

[Larry Rodgers]

Dear Debian.org <http://debian.org/> Personnel:
        I’ve unsuccessfully tried to use Ubuntu on my Linux-based computer for 
quite some time.  The problems seem to be related to security issues and 
hacking.  I’ve made progress, but I notice that the only commands that work 
well are the commands that are entered through the Terminal.
        I am interested in purchasing Debian if I could find a good eraser, 
good security through a VPN, and information on using Debian.
                             Respectfully submitted,
                             Larry Rodgers
