So let me understand.  You're comparing stable Fedora-5 to an early
testing Etch Debian?

I'm assuming you tried Etch because your hardware was too new to install
Sarge (the current stable).  It is frustrating to have new hardware and
no stable distro to install on it.  Fortunatly, I find myself in that
predicament only every 10 years or so :)

I would suggest you keep that partition free and as time permits try
Etch again.  In the interim, I hope your current distro continues to be
satisfactory.
